If anyone has information regarding PostScript font utilities for PC's I'd
appreciate any leads. I am looking for font downloaders that will download
over various connections (ie serial, parallel...)and also installers that
will install the fonts for various applications such as Windows, Ventura,
PageMaker, etc...
Thanks in advance,

The downloader written by Adobe and shipped with their Font packages attempts to do this. There is a two step process. First the Fonts must be unpacked. Then they must be sent to the printer. Adobe supplies one program to do this for the serial communications, and one for a Parrallel connection. The serial one is menu driven and works fine for what it was intended to do. However, I have only been able to get the program that communicates through the Parrallel port to work with (IBM) PC's. It does NOT work on a Compac 386. I have spoken with others that state it does not work on IBM clone machines. <<<< You might just want to write your own. >>>> The unpacking procedures are available from Adobe "Supporting Downloadable PostScript Fonts" August 14, 1987 Gelnn Reid Adobe Systems Incorporated ---------------------------------------------------------------------- __ /| Curt Jutzi (Jutz) Tektronix Inc. \'o.O` tektronix!curtj@pogo.WV Del.
