Phil - pick up a copy of my program AAFP.EXE for DOS on the
Adobe forum under Compuserve (!go adobe). AAFP will convert
PC Adobe .PFB files to .PFA so you can load them to your
printers from UNIX or whatever system you like. Remember to
set binary mode if you use ftp to move the files to UNIX. Rcp
will do it no problem... AAFP  can handle wild cards and will
also allow you to specify that the files to be created have
the serverdict stuff that keeps the fonts in the printers
memory between jobs.

If you can't get to compuserve drop me note via mail and I'll
send you the code. It's only 16K or so.
