I've installed some new fonts in /LocalLibrary/Fonts. I've put in the afm, bitmap, and outline directories, and I ran the buildafmdir utility. All the fonts show up in applications like WriteNow, but their screen representation is not correct. I only see Courier font for all of them. What am I doing wrong? -Robert Lin

It sounds to me like the name of the font is not quite right. Check the name of the font file (for example, Fonts/outline/FooBar) against the name of the font as it is defined in the font file itself (for example, "/FontName /Foobar def"). These have to match exactly. Also, look for the font name in two places inside the file; not just in the "/FontName Foobar def" but at the end, wherever "definefont" is called. The second of these is actually the more important one. Let me know if that doesn't fix it, and I might be able to help you debug it. /Glenn -- Glenn Reid PostScript/NeXT consultant glenn@heaven.woodside.ca.us Independent Software Developer ..{adobe,next}!heaven!glenn 415-851-1785
