>So, to get this straight I have to find the font format files and after that I have to read the documentation (which I didn't find btw) and extract the neccessary info from there ... Yes. You have a very large project on your hands. With PostScript many people find things start easily but there are sudden leaps where things become an order of magnitude more complicated. Embedding your own platform fonts is one of these. At least (if your printer is up to date) you have type 42 fonts so you can just include the font tables. With older printers it is necessary to do a dynamic conversion to type 1 font format, which means parsing the drawing instructions of every character. > >And another thing the font bytes for postscrip are the same like the ones for pdf There is similarity and overlap. Many of the base technologies are the same. You need to read both specifications in great detail to see the differences. Aandi Inston
