[comp.sys.mac] Help needed on L/W d/load Fonts

rcopm@koel.rmit.oz (Paul Menon) (06/01/88)

hi,
  I have an "LWRT" type file which has LaserWriter downloadable fonts,
in the fashion of the Mobile, GimCracks etc fonts.  Whenever I use the fonts
in any document for printing, I get a message to the effect ..

	    Down loading font bit map to LaserWriter...
    
    With the usual horrible results.

    All I had to do previously with the Mobile and other d/l fonts was to
stick it in the System Folder.  I cannot check whether the fonts which did
work (Gimcrack, ...) do so now, as I don't have those LWRT files.

  Is there something special I have to do so that the LaserWriter driver knows
of these LWRT files (ie binding/altering some resources ...) ?  The new 
LaserWriter driver has a new icon for these file types.  has the format 
changed?  If so, how do I update the old LWRT files?  Has this got something
to do with the "FOND" resource?  If my questions appear trivial, profuse 
apologies, I must be as well.

  Any clues are appreciated.


  Thankyou

Paul Menon.
