#Nope.  The AFM (Adobe Font Metric) files may be Adobe issue, but the
#fonts themselves don't seem to be.  I used the FontLister utility to 
#print samples of the Garamond font and compared to Adobe's own
#Garamond.  They're similar, certainly, but definitely not the same.
#Compare, for example, the glyph 'a'.  It's quite different; the top
#edge of the top "loop" of the a on the Adobe font is rounded, while on
#the PD font, it's more of a straight line.  Also compare the 'b'; the
#bottom of the glyph is much straighter on the PD font; the Adobe font
#has a more visible serif.

#Still, the quality of these fonts *is* commercial grade.  Maybe
#someone could compare the PD garamond to other commercial Garamonds
#such as ITC Garamond?


Ok... what does one do exactly to install these fonts.  I did the  
buildafmdir and everything looks ok.  However, when I use the  
FontInstaller from Adobe, it creates afm, bitmap and outline directories.   
Is buildafmdir supposed to create these directories also, or is this  
something special about FontInstaller.app?
