Hello experts,  
This question was posted in "Acrobat UNIX" forum. I think here is the better place to ask. Execuse me if you re-read it here. 
I would appreciate so much if you guys could share some of your ideas for this one: I am writing a utility program to export/print X/Motif windows to postscript files for our I18N'ed UNIX-based graphics toolkits. The font for each widget/Gadget can be standard non-proportional/proportional font, asian font and Canon vector font. Font list is totally user configurable. My question is how to map each of those X fonts to proper Postscript compatible font so the printout of the exported postscript file will look close to the actual window?  

Thanks in Advance!  

CXP
