[comp.sys.mac] How to make PostScript fonts, etc

mcdonald@fornax.UUCP (Ken Mcdonald) (02/10/90)

I'm making up a special version of the Times font, which includes all the
various symbols I will need for my thesis.  Eventually (at some point in the
next year or so) I will need produce a PS version of this font.  What is
the best way to do this?  Naturally, I want to just use the PS definitions
for the Times characters I am not changing, and only produce definitions
for my new symbols.  How can I use the existing PS Times definitions?  As
well, most of the special symbols I need are already defined in the set
of fonts provided in OzTex.  Is there any way to translate these characters
into PostScript?

Thanks for all the help.  Please reply by e-mail, as the volume of this
group has grown too large for me to read it anymore.  I will, however,
send summaries to all who request them, or post a summary if interest
warrants.
