The name of a Type 1 font file must match the PostScript font name in the 
/FontName entry in the header of that file.  If that entry looks like:
 
     /FontName /Futura-CondExtraBoldObl def

the name of the file must be:

     Futura-CondExtraBoldObl

> How can I use these fonts
The IRIS Font Manager in IRIX 4.0.5 and higher uses Type 1 outline font files 
it finds in the directory /usr/lib/DPS/outline/base.  Link your program with:

     -lfm_s -lgl_s -lsun -lc_s [-lm] [-lmalloc]

    (square brackets indicate optional libraries)

and hack away.  You can use the Inventor toolkit to display 3D characters that
are made from the character outlines found in outline fonts.

Write a Display PostScript (DPS) program that uses additional fonts.  DPS has
been implemented as an extension of the X Window System.  You basically need
to write an X program that makes use of that extension. 

My demo program xdpsglx shows how to use DPS in a mixed-model program.  You
can get the source code for that program by anonymous ftp from sgi/src/dpsglx
on sgi.com. 

You can add outline (PostScript) fonts to FrameMaker.  See Appendix F in the
SGI FrameMaker Reference Manual (Doc. No. 007-1641-020).  You should also add
the corresponding bitmap fonts to FrameMaker. 

If you create a PostScript file that uses your additional fonts, you can use
xpsview to preview that file.  If you want to print that file, you should
check whether your new font is built into your PS printer.  If it is not,
you should download additional Type 1 font files to that printer.  I posted
an article about how to do that.

You can use additional font files with the SGI Impressario.  Impressario can 
use DPS to convert non-PostScript printers into PostScript printers. 

SGI has announced a version of the Adobe Illustrator for SGI machines.  It
uses Display PostScript.    

The X11R5 version of the X Window System can use Type 1 outline font files.

You cannot add fonts to the current version of Showcase.
