If anyone from Adobe is out there (hard to tell since Brian Beziaton left), here's a suggestion for ATM 1.3 (if and when): a list of bitmap-to-PS font mappings. When a QD request is intercepted for a given font, check the list and generate the font from the specified font file. This would simplify e.g. trying to print the umpteen gazillion variants of Monaco (most of which can be 99% duplicated by LetterGothic PS font). ++Brandon -- Brandon S.
