This includes Adobe Type Manager compatible fonts. The specific file that you need is the .PFB file. This contains the actual Postscript code to render the font. One thing I do is make sure that: 1) The ADOS name of the font jives with the actual name of the font. (The name is in ascii at the very top of the .PFB file) 2) The fonts resides in the directory assigned to PSFONTS: MkBmap will create the appropriate directory in FONTS: and the .font file if you need it to. Be aware that none of the fonts will be absolutely perfect. You might have to do minor tweeking with FED. All in all I am very impressed with Adrian's Post library. It makes learning Postscript in an interactive fashion easy and fun. (Yeah... Right! :-) ) -- adam hill -- hill@cse.uta.edu ASOCC - University of Texas at UTA I programmed for three days Make Up Your Own Mind.. AMIGA! And heard no human voices. Amiga... Multimedia NOW!
