An annual publication I'm editing has been laid out on a PC clone using Pagemaker for Windows. All 160 pages were output as 160 separate EPS files, because Pagemaker for Windows won't generate straight PS documents. About 1/4 of the pages have a "sidebar", an offset chunk of text which should be in Franklin Gothic (TrueType, remember). The typesetter received the files and found the sidebars printing in Avant Garde. Sure enough, upon checking the files he saw Avant Garde specified as the font to load. We thought at first it might be a problem with the Franklin Gothic TrueType font choosing Avant Garde as its Type 1 equivalent, so we changed the sidebar font to Helvetica TrueType (hoping Helvetica would then be specified in the EPS output as well). Unfortunately, Avant Garde popped up again. Nowhere in our design is Avant Garde intentionally used. I don't have a clear understanding of how a PostScript interpreter can make use of TrueType fonts, or why the EPS file is showing Avant Garde when Franklin Gothic and Helvetica are specified. This question may be somewhat obscure, but I'm at a total loss. I'm also in dire trouble if no one can help. I'd greatly appreciate any response by email or otherwise as soon as possible. _________________________________________________________ Jon McAuliffe Campus Consultant, NeXT Chicago Office Jon_McAuliffe@NeXT.COM -OR- jmcaulif@husc.harvard.edu O: (312) 329-2550 H: (708) 983-0896 "Wir sprechen NeXTMail" <-- NeXTMail spoken here
