  I'm generating PostScript files using Macintosh programs such as
  FrameMaker and Finale.  I can transfer the PostScript to Unix systems
  and attempt to print them on a PostScript printer... However, when
  the file prints, I get a message such as:

	`Font not found: "Petrucci".   Using "Courier" instead.' 
 
  when I try to print my Finale document or:

	`Font not found: "Chicago".  Using "Courier" instead.'

  when I try to print my FrameMaker document.  Of course, the document
  does not look right.

  I've tried setting the `including font with document' option in Finale
  and it looks like the "Petrucci" font is being included -- but the Unix
  printer does not seem to recognize or use it.  Does anyone know a 
  work-a-round?

thanks.
