Has anyone found a way to use these fonts with MS-WORD? >-Alex If you have the Fontware for Word package uSoft offers for its Word customers (free? $5? something like that) or the support programs from SoftCraft you can just feed the soft font to the package with your current .PRD file and get out an updated .PRD (and frequently a new .DAT as well) without having to go through the source and the MAKEPRD program. The real advantage to doing it this way is that the Fontware (or whatever) program builds the necessary width tables in the .PRD file so that Word knows how much space to allocate for a line.
