Hi,

  I have obtained a copy of the Plantin font in files with the
extensions ".afm" and ".tfm".

  Am I correct in thinking that those files are for use with
Ghostscript?

  I would like to be able to use the font under X11R6 and MS-Windows
3.11.

  Two questions:

	1) Can I convert the files I have ("*.tfm", "*.afm") to the
		correct format for X11R6 and MS-Windows?  If so, how?

	2) Do you have a copy of Plantin in the correct format for
		MS-Windows or X11R6 I could use?

  Thanks for any help!
