Specific question first, then general question: Does anyone know of a monospaced symbol font? Even if it's Courier, just as long as the symbols are there (i.e. math symbols, etc.). The application is MS-Word for DOS V5.0A, which has no easy way to format equations. Some of our users have old documents with multi-line, spaced equations (for HP PCL). Now we have PostScript printers, but nothing like eqn for Word. If they could get the characters they want and use spaces to line up their equations, they would be happy. In general, is there some quick way to convert any PostScript font to mono- spacing? PostScript pseudo-code follows: For this font, find the widest character make all characters that width (by padding with white space). Using Word for Windows or Ventura or WordPerfect is not an option, although an add-in (?) that works with Word V5.0A for DOS would be acceptable. -- Greg O'Rear Industrial and Systems Engineering Department, University of Florida Address: O'Rear@ise.ufl.edu
