Hiyah. I have some Postscript fonts that don't seem to exist in a
screen/bitmap version. But, they're damn nice looking, and I'm
willing to expend some effort in making bitmaps for them so I
can use PageMaker and other such stuff with these fonts. What
I'm looking for, in order of preference, then:
1) A way to generate bitmapped fonts from the Poscript fonts,
and have the two work together like any other Macintosh downloadable
Postscript font.
2) A way to kludge my own bitmap font, and somehow "attach" it to
the Postscript files, so that when I use the bitmap font, the
Postscript file is downloaded upon printing.
Any suggestions?
Thanks,

A while back, we ordered a program that did this, but haven't received it yet. It was advertised in MacWeek and I believe the name was 'FontSizer'. It supposedly creates bitmapped versions of fonts in various sizes and styles by downloading PostScript from a LaserWriter. -Paul Wenker prw@meccts.MECC.MN.ORG -MECC, Technical Services
