    If there exists a Postscript version of the font there is a way to
generate a Amiga version of the font to use in "regular" WP's
(Prowrite). You need Adrian Aaylward's Post library and a program
written by him called "mkbmap".

    Mkbmap will take a PS Type 1 or 3 fonts and render it to a bitmap.
(Like Tom Rokicki does with TeX and *.pk files). It will accept the
building of any size font (up to mem constraints) and will make a
directory and build the *.font file!! (Talk about nice...)

    If you cant get a hold of the right programs send me mail.

All we need now is a version of Fontographer.... (Or a version of a
xdf_*.library that will read in PS 1 or 3 fonts.)
