I don't think this is possible, but am not sure why
so here goes.

I am running Arabic 7.01 on the mac.
I create a postscript file by the print to file
option.

I switch the mac back to english.
I put the arabic trutype fonts in the english
system.
I download the arabic postscript fonts to the printer.
I try to download the postscript file and get the
following error

%%[ Error: undefined; OffendingCommand: md ]%%
%%[ Flushing: rest of job (to end-of-file) will be ignored ]%%

Next to the md is a unprintable character (shown as a blank box).
Next to the ignored, is another of the same character.

The reason I loaded the Arabic truetype fonts into the English system is
that I first got the following error.

" Ww+EEM+"rTrueTypee
%%[|0|]%%%%[|0|]%%%%[|0|]%%%%[|0|]%%%%[ Error: VMerror; OffendingCommand: put ]%%
%%[ Flushing: rest of job (to end-of-file) will be ignored ]%%

Again, a lot of unprintable text that I cannot paste into the posting is in
this message.

If there is anyone who can help, please mail me any suggestions, as I don't 
follow this group very often and will miss most postings.

Many thanks!!!!
