hi,
I have an "LWRT" type file which has LaserWriter downloadable fonts,
in the fashion of the Mobile, GimCracks etc fonts. Whenever I use the fonts
in any document for printing, I get a message to the effect ..
Down loading font bit map to LaserWriter...
With the usual horrible results.
All I had to do previously with the Mobile and other d/l fonts was to
stick it in the System Folder. I cannot check whether the fonts which did
work (Gimcrack, ...) do so now, as I don't have those LWRT files.
Is there something special I have to do so that the LaserWriter driver knows
of these LWRT files (ie binding/altering some resources ...) ? The new
LaserWriter driver has a new icon for these file types. has the format
changed? If so, how do I update the old LWRT files? Has this got something
to do with the "FOND" resource? If my questions appear trivial, profuse
apologies, I must be as well.
Any clues are appreciated.
Thankyou
Paul Menon.
