Sompe people here bought a LaserWriter Plus from Apple, then bought TranScript 2.0 through Sun by itself. Now they want to be able to access all the other wonderful fonts, but can't because TranScript came set up for just LW support (only 4 fonts with AFM files). If someone could refresh my memory on how to do this, I'd appreciate it. I know that first I have to generate .afm files for the fonts, either via getting them from the Adobe server or using Peter Greenber's getafm program (Good grief, I hope I still have it around), then ... what? If they had ditroff, I'd know I need to generate fonts for them, but they don't have it. They don't have TeX either so they don't need Stephan Bechtolsheim's dvipsps distribution to use the built in fonts with TeX. But I still need a way for them to be able to use the extra fonts in general, and how to reference (i.e. `mount' them) in troff. Any pointers appreciated ...
