If you're using CorelDraw to convert WFN to PFB try to convert only ONE
font at a time.  That is, convert only one font, get out of WFNBOSS and see
if this works.

The reason that I say this is because when I used WFNBOSS the first conversion
works fine, but all the remining PFB files are somehow corrupted!!

Me thinks a bug in WFNBOSS and not GS.
