I tried to install some of the PD/SW fonts on the archives, following advice from the net, and got mixed results. As root, I placed the fonts in LocalLibrary/Fonts, then ran buildafmdir and cacheAFMData on the directory. The fonts appeared in the fonts panel and seemed to work (eg they would preview correctly). Then I logged out and back in as a regular user. But now only some of the fonts work. They all show up in the font panel, but most are marked unusable. Some, however, do work correctly. Any idea what I'm doing wrong? In general, though, this kind of rigmarole, even assuming it worked, is what one expects of Windoze, not NeXT. -- - Stefano Pagiola Food Research Institute, Stanford University spagiola@frinext.stanford.edu (NeXTMail encouraged) spagiola@FRI-nxt-Pagiola.stanford.edu (NeXTMail encouraged)
