1. How are the screen fonts different from the laserprinter fonts? Why couldn't I just download a screen font into an Apple laserwriter. 2. I just came across some postsript definitions of computer modern fonts. They are text files containing postscript definitions. How do I use these fonts? Can they be downloaded into an Apple Laserwriter by an application such as SendPS 2.0? Will this font be usable by the laserwriter? As text files they are not recognized as font definitions by commercial appliations. Is there any application that will turn a postscript definition file into font files recognizable by applications and softwares. If it is possible to write postscript definitions for fonts, how is writing screen bitmap fonts different from writing fonts for laserwriters. 3. I came across an application unadobe which turns fonts into postscript definitions. What do people use this application for? What benefit do we gain from such an operation? Thanks in advance for the help. Please reply to me by e-mail. I am at bmwu@athena.mit.edu Benson Wu
