[comp.fonts] Info Wanted on Representing PostScript fonts on screen

john@fulcrum.bt.co.uk (John Gardener) (11/29/90)

Can somebody please help me.

       I have just gained a PostScript printer, but the software
    that I'm using to drive it (PageSetter & LaserScript by Gold Disk, Inc)
    have only screen representations and .metric files for the fonts
    Times, Helvetica, Courier and Symbols (by the way I'm using an Amiga).

       I am hence
         1. Asking if the .metric files are used by other packages or
            only the Amiga?
         2. Looking for screen representation and .metric files for
            all the other fonts supported on my PostScript printer,
            I understand that these are Type 1 fonts.
         3. Asking what are the other font types?.

               John Gardener
