Has anoyone had trouble with the Tekton font located on Sonata?
(/pub/next/graphics/fonts/Tekton.tar.Z)  I've downloaded all the 
fonts from there, plus installed quite a few of my own, but is the
only one that seems to give me problems.  Everytime I attempt to use
it, I end up with 12-point Helvetica, regardless of the selected point
size.  I know the .afm is working, because although the charectors are in
12-point type, the relative kerning of the cursor acts as though I were
printing the correct size letters.  (ie.  If I type "xyzzy" with Tekton
64-point, "xyzzy" appears as 12-poin Helvi, but the cursor is halfway
down the screen)  All the other fonts work fine, I've even re-downloaded
this sucker several times to make sure evything was ok.  If anyone has a
working copy, tell me how you installed it!  (or if you are extremely
cheery then please NeXTmail a copy over_)

Thanks,

Be aware that not only is this font a blatant ripoff of the font
"Tekton" sold by Adobe Systems Incorporated, this font violates
the trademark of the name "Tekton" and is ILLEGAL.  It should be
removed from the archives.

Many typefaces have had their face names trademarked by Adobe
Systems Incorporated and/or the typefaces foundaries that own the
typefaces and any unauthorized use of those trademarked names is
illegal.
