It is not clear to me that a PostScript printer file generated by a
software application such as Ventura or WfW can be re-imported by a word
processor; I am experimenting with this myself. Eventhough the files are
called 'EPS' by the various generating programs, they don't seem to be
in the form that importing software expects them to be. I am quite
confused about this. I have a *huge* need to be able to import such
files, and am very anxious to learn how to do it.

Adobe Typeface Manager. This program scans the printer drivers, and generates
on-the-fly WYSIWYG screen fonts.
