Is there a way to convert PostScript fonts, such as those created in Fontographer, into PostScript drawing objects that can be edited and manipulated in Illustrator or FreeHand? I don't just want to be able to take a single character and move it around the page... I want to be able to change the character's shape, extend serifs, add flourishes, and so on. -- Mark H.

I noticed an announcement of a product (can't recall the product, the manufacturer, or the magazine, but it was recent -- not too helpful, eh?) that will do what you want. I'll try to re-find the info and post it if no one else replies. -- Frank Kolnick, consulting for, and therefore expressing opinions independent of, Computer X UUCP: {allegra, linus}!utzoo!mnetor!frank

Fontliner from Taylored graphics will convert Fontagrapher fonts into outline graphics editable from FreeHand or Illustrator. Altsys (authors of Fontagrapher, Art Importer, FreeHand - and general PostScript wizards) has announced a product called Metamorphosis that will retrieve font outlines from a PostScript printer and generate either Fontagrapher fonts or editable outlines. Supposedly will work with Type 1 encrypted fonts as well, specifically Adobe/Linotype fonts. -- -- Spencer Whetstone == ...!usceast!uscacm!Spencer.Whetstone
