If you've got the time, I have a question:
I've got a PC-version of an Adobe font (EurostileTwo, consisting
of .afm .inf and .pfb files) that I'd like to convert so that we
can use it on our printers and xterms.
Adobe says they don't make any Unix versions of their fonts ("yet"),
but suggested that there was shareware that might do the conversion.
I ftp'd the fontutils-0.5 package and took a look at what was in it,
but there doesn't seem to be anything to help me. Part of the problem
is that I have no idea what kind of conversion I'd have to do to the
font for it to be availiable to Wyse xterms running off of SCO/Open
Desktop (2.0) Unix. But hey, the note in the README file suggested
this mailbox for questions, so I thought I'd give it a shot.
Muchly obliged in advance for any help you can give me,
Carl
