On the contrary, they come out exactly the same as the originals -
otherwise, what would be the point in converting them?!?

IIRC some of them had way too many definition points than was absolutely
necessary, but then again these could have been the "woodcut" style ones
scanned from old books...

I will /try/ to find out the name of the PC converter which does TT to Type
1, but one of the fonts I converted was the Jurrasic Park-style font, which
shows how long ago it was since I did this... :)

BBFN,
Rich.
