I have used a mac utility callled "UnAdobe" that uncompresses mac format fonts so that they can be copied to a DOS system. My examination of the results, in comparison to "real" IBM format postscript fonts, reveals a few things. The files are indeed uncompressed, and can be downloaded to a printer using some font download utiltities. Others choke on the fonts. More importantly, and the purpose of my post, it would appear that somewher in the translation process a string of rogue carriage returns seem to have crept in. My question is, are the problems that I sometimes have with downloading and other things, a result of the fact that they are uncompressed, or the stray carriage return/line feeds? And secondly, is it possible to write a utility that would "re-compress" the fonts? ======================================================================== Adam Smith Genius - Graphic Artist - Bad Mood Guy The Chameleon Papers Vancouver, BC CANADA "Human beings are a great disappointment to me and it doesn't help one bit that I am one."
