A number of people have asked me to pass on the info I got in reply to my question, so here is the reply that solved the problem for me: -From: woody@chinacat.Unicom.COM (Woody Baker @ Eagle Signal) - -Just print them to the printer. The code will execute, and the font -will be created in the printer. The only trick, is to know the font -name. Most applications won't know what it is, so you have to tell them. -You can tell windows the names of the fonts, by altering the win.ini -file. If you do your own PS coding, you can easily invoke the fonts -just like anyother built in font. - -Cheers -Woody The way I found out the font name was to look at the last line of the font definition file where the whole definition is assigned some name (e.g. Messenger). It worked like a charm! Good luck, fellow PostScript neophytes. Jon -- jonathan@jarthur.claremont.edu (134.173.4.42)
