Oplinger) Newsgroups: comp.sys.mac.system Subject: 7.0 & Type 1 Fonts Message-ID: Date: 3 May 91 17:06:31 GMT Organization: Carnegie Mellon, Pittsburgh, PA Lines: 20 I have a bunch of type 1 fonts and getting to use them in sys 7.0f3c2 is really annoying... first of all, suitcase 1.2.9 is *again* incompatible with this newest version of 7.0. i have large (~500k) font suitcases for all the 10 & 12 pt screen font versions of my outlines, and now cant find a practical way of using them. I tried tossing them in the sys folder with FontPorter (came with ATM) and that failed miserably (crashes). I can't even open the darned suitcases in the finder ("suitcase cant be opened because it is damaged"). i know it's not damaged because 1) suitcase can open it under 6.0.x and 2) font/da mover can open it under 6.0.x. well, anyway, i don't feel like tossing ~1.5 meg screen fonts into my system file. does anyone have ideas for a way i can get at them to use them (i.e. with ATM?). my wish is that suitcase II would work, but i guess we'll have to wait for that (has anyone gotten 1.2.9 to work with 7.0f3c2?). until then, my interim solution is flipping back to 6.0.7 to use the fonts, but that is really annoying to do. any ideas? please email.. thanks.. -- jeff
