>But I found and tested a lot more in PostScript (Chicago,Carta, JoahannaMT, etc)> >are they recognized by every printer so I don't have problems? Recognised, yes. Included, no. Each printer has a some built in fonts. If you are writing a GENERAL printer driver you should be using PPD files, which will tell you the fonts in the printer. >or some of them I will have to define(if yes ... which)? The ones not in the printer. Now, PostScript fonts in Windows come in "PFB" format. This is almost direct PostScript, but not quite. If you can convert them to "PFA" format, which is fairly trivial, then they become a valid fragment of PostScript. This fragment does everything for the font, and concludes with a "definefont". If you are prepared to limit yourself to type 1 fonts, the project shrinks enormously in scale. (And is compatible with all models.) Aandi Inston
