How to get windows to automatically download soft fonts..  And yes,
it works fine with w4w.

Weather or not you use ATM, the postscript driver must be set up
correctly to handle this.  Fonts must be installed with the postscript driver
in win.ini.

Each font must have a number, they start from
1 and go up, the pathname and filename of the metrics file, followwed
by a semi, then the name of the printer font.  Here are the first two
entries for OPTIMA, which are in my win.ini

softfont1=c:\W3\PSFONTS\OP______.PFM,c:\W3\PSFONTS\OP______.PFB
softfont2=c:\W3\PSFONTS\OPO_____.PFM,c:\W3\PSFONTS\OPO_____.PFB

Add as many soft fonts as you like.  It works fine and works well.
