Hi, 

 I need help confirming a few things about Windows 2000 and how it handles PostScript Type 1 fonts. The messages on this forum have been extremely helpful so far, much more so than anything I could find at Microsoft's Support forum, so I hope I can prevail on you. 

Number one: is there some handy Key, or file name cross-reference glossary somewhere that might show me the way Windows will name a *.pfb/*.pfm font, since it doesn't seem to retain the comprehensible English name of the font itself? What I mean is, how do I know for sure that ngb_____.pfm (or, whatever) really is News Gothic Bold?? 

Number two: I'm confused about the difference between .pfb and .pfm files. I am assuming that BOTH types are necessary to be able to both print and display fonts, but if you only have one or the other type of file, what happens in each case? 

I am working on a machine that was shipped from headquarters. Is it likely or possible that our big SysAdmin in the sky was able to, inadvertantly or not, install ONLY one or the other of these file types for us?  

I am trying to optimize for Windows 2000, and Word 2001, a set of Microsoft Word Templates that were built on a Mac. At the moment, my News Gothic fonts display on the screen, but do not print. Not jagged, not nothin. Just space. 

Because of the forums here, I now understand that Windows 2000 ought to be able to administer Postscript fonts for basic printing and display. This is probably why HQ didn't give us ATM. Do I need it anyway? Would it be helpful? 

Any ideas or clues? 

Best regards, Kalonica
