OK got all of those neat fonts to use with Adobe Type Manager in pub/pc/win3/fonts on cica.cica.indiana.edu. They look great on the screen, but how do you print a document using them... I installed the fonts using the ATM Control utility... -- +-----All Views Expressed Are My Own And Are Not Necessarily Shared By------+ +------------------------------My Employer----------------------------------+ + Ronald S.

If the target printer is PostScript, then you need to edit the win.ini file in the softfonts section ... softfont1=[path]\psfonts\pfm\fontname.pfm,[path]\psfonts\fontname.pfb ^^ no space between the comma & the other name. Now, this WILL NOT work with a non PS printer, as the .PFB file is PS code that contains the font description ... Anybody have the awnser for non PS? leoh@hdw.csd.harris.com Leo Hinds (305)973-5229 Gfx ... gfx ... :-) whfg orpnhfr V "ebg"grq zl fvtangher svyr lbh guvax V nz n creireg ?!!!!!!? ... znlor arkg gvzr

Anybody have the awnser for non PS? No problem, if you do not have a postscript printer but are using any of the wordprocessors for window, WFW, AMI-PRO or window write, simply print the file!!! ATM takes care of the rest, this of course assumes you have a graphics capable printer.

That is what I thought as well, but the INDEX file on cica specifically mentions that a PS printer is required for their type1 fonts ... so that was leading me to wonder ... leoh@hdw.csd.harris.com Leo Hinds (305)973-5229 Gfx ... gfx ... :-) whfg orpnhfr V "ebg"grq zl fvtangher svyr lbh guvax V nz n creireg ?!!!!!!? ... znlor arkg gvzr
