Adding PostScript fonts to WordPerfect 5.1

	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!
