<36656@uflorida.cis.ufl.edu> bhm@reef.cis.ufl.edu (Bruce H. McIntosh): UF has just Laid Down The Law [...] all official publications MUST be in the Palatino font. I write all our tech docs in LaTeX, and have been unable to find a Palatino font. I don't have dvips. (I assume you mean you don't have a PostScript printer.) Bitstream do a clone of Palatino, which they call Zapf Calligraphic (since Palatino is a typeface with some caligraphic qualities and Zapf is its designer). Bitstream have provided TFM/PXL versions of fonts in the past (Jeremy Gibbons LaTeXed his thesis in their Baskerville, for example), and maybe they have got around to producing PK versions. This solution will cost money, of course, but if UF insist on certain fonts being used then surely they are prepared to stump up the $$$ necessary to do so? Damian
