We've done this with a few fonts under the DECWindows Display PostScript extension -- the procedure should be essentially the same, since the core interpreter is essentially the same. We had the additional task of cobbling up BDF files for the bitmaps -- some information that BDF expects isn't present in the Mac format. The biggest problem we ran into is the Fontographer likes to produce fonts that define things in userdict. This is a nono, but works on a printer. It doesn't do anything good in DPS. -- Chris Kent Western Software Laboratory Digital Equipment Corporation kent@decwrl.dec.com decwrl!kent (415) 853-6639
