I am having a rather frustrating problem. I have recently acquired a number of PostScript fonts, and I would like to use them with WordPerfect 5.1 and Freedom of the Press 2.5. `Downloading' the fonts into FoP seems to work fine (though I haven't actually had a chance to check it out). The problem is that I cannot seem to get the fonts in the WP Apple Laserwriter IINTX file to recognize the fonts that I've downloaded (Zapf-Chancery Medium Italic for example). What in the font description file indicates what the `real' name of the font is? What I'm getting at is that if I know how to change that name, then I can arbitrarily use any one font under any name. Is it possible to graft new PostScript fonts onto the printer description file in WP? Any help would be GREATLY appreciated! _____ _____ ( ___ )-----------------------------------------------------------------( ___ ) | | || szabo@aludra.usc.edu | | | | /> |+===========================| | | | /< Lord Dethedrus || _ | | | | [\\\\\\(O):::<=====================- || || /__ / || || // | | | | \< Knight Defender || ||/\ | || ||</ | | | | \> || || > \__/ || || \ | | |___| || / > |___| (_____)-----------------------------------------------------------------(_____)
