Either way, you don't usually convert Postscript fonts to PK's, you simply use them as is (though you may have to figger out how to build TFM's). As far as MetaFONT, you're out of luck. Psroff 2.0 has code to convert PK's into SFP's and Postscript, but not vice-versa. -- Chris Lewis, Phone: (613) 832-0541 UUCP: uunet!utai!lsuc!ecicrl!clewis Moderator of the Ferret Mailing List (ferret-request@eci386) Psroff mailing list (psroff-request@eci386)
