I bought some postscript fonts (type 3, if that matters) and installed them as /LocalLibrary/Fonts/afm/fontname-variation.afm and /LocalLibrary/Fonts/outline/fontname-variation . Printing with them works fine. I don't have NeXT screen or BDF equivalents for these fonts. Is there a way to make them show up in WriteNow (or Frame)?

It should work with just the font and the AFM file, unless the fonts do something strange. Try running "buildafmdir" on the /LocalLibrary/Fonts directory. That might help, but it should do that automatically for you, actually. Try pulling up the font in a Yap window and adding some PS to the end that uses the font to draw some characters. If you can't get this to work then there may be some strange assumptions in the Type 3 font itself. -- Glenn Reid PostScript/NeXT consultant glenn@heaven.woodside.ca.us Independent Software Developer ..{adobe,next}!heaven!glenn 415-851-1785
