[comp.lang.postscript] Re-encoding fonts

bcockburn@acorn.co.uk (Bruce Cockburn) (06/13/91)

Hi,

  Does anybody know if there is an accepted standard naming convention for
fonts that are re-encoded?  For instance if I make a copy of Helvetica using
the ISOLatin1Encoding should the fond be called Helvetica-Latin1,
Helvetica.Latin1, Helvetica/Latin1 or what?  In general what shold the
encodings be called?  As a european company we are already using the Latin1
encoding, although ours differs from the one supported by PS Level 2, should
we include this in our renamed font?  e.g. Helvetica-AcornLatin1 rather than
Helvetica-ISOLatiin1.

  Thanks in advance.

  Bruce.
