[comp.sys.mac] Bitmap -> Postscript font

debrunne@uicsl.csl.uiuc.edu (12/01/89)

I am having problems associating my Macintosh bitmap font with my Postscript
font.  I created the bitmap font using Fontastic, and the Postscript font using
Fontographer.   When I use the bitmap font on the mac screen with Quickdraw,
it seems to work properly.  When I print on the laser printer, it finds the
Macintosh file which contains the PostScript font (I can tell because when it
doesnt find the PostScript font, it generates one from the bitmap font) --
but it doesnt seem to use any of the characters out of PostScript font; it uses
some default font (Chicago?) instead.  I have looked at my FONT and FOND
resources with Resedit, but found nothing obvious wrong.  I had none of these
problems for about a year, but last month, after making some changes to the
font (which involved changing its name and changing it back again) it stopped
working.  Can someone with experience with Postscript fonts on the Mac tell me
what is involved in the mapping of bitmap fonts to postscript fonts, and what
might be wrong?  Please respond via email: lippold@uinova.cerl.uiuc.edu
Thanks!
