I have another question about NeWSprint. I understand that the SparcPrinter
can handle 57 PostScript fonts. I'd like to get the TFM fonts in order to
use them in TeX. I tried to use makeafb in OpenWin2.0 to generate AFM fonts
from *.f3b and then use afm2tfm (the one which comes with dvips5.4) to
convert them into TFM fonts. I got the following error message when I was
doing afm2tfm Times-Roman.afm.

; expected: ! syntax error
C 32 ; WX 250 ; N space
                       ^

The top of the Times-Roman.afm looks like 
==========================================================
StartFontMetrics 2.1
Font Times-Roman
Comment Times is a trademark of Linotype AG.
Comment Generated from Folio file Times-Roman.f3b
FontBoundingBox -171 -230 1026 920

Comment Encoding latin
StartCharMetrics 230
C 32 ; WX 250 ; N space
C 33 ; WX 333 ; N exclam
....................................
==========================================================

Does anybody know how can I get them right? Thanks in advance!
