More specifically, I have several postscript procedures that will draw shapes, graphs, and make labels based on the user's input. Right now the font is hard-coded, and it works on my machine, but I want to actually embed some other fonts within the postscript so that no matter where the program is running, the fonts will work when the user prints the file. > > Thanks! Ghostscript has a utility called pfb2gs that will convert a .pfb file to a .gs which is a text file that can be just put into a postscript file to define a font.
