I have been playing a lot recently with GoScript fonts that they have been sending to me. (LaserGo). Does anybody know if there is any way of loading the GoScript additional fonts (aka GoFonts) into a standard PostScript printer. They come on the disk as both .GSF and .AFM files. Plus there is a utility the converts the .AFM files to .PFM files (whatever they are). Anybody have any comments? ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Michael Bower - N4NMR Honeywell Federal Systems Inc. uunet!hfsi!bower 7900 Westpark Dr. - MS 1007 703-827-3559 (o) 703-435-5081 (h) McLean, VA 22102 ------------------------------------------------------------------------

AS for whether the fonts will work with Postscript, I don't know. You need to try it. If you don't have a way to get access to a postscript (Adobe) printer directly, you might try a service place that prints laser printer pages. send the font to the printer, and then send a short routine that selects the font and prints something.
