Help. I work for a service bureau in Cambridge and we have an Agfa Matrix slide recorder. The problem is we need to get a Type 3 font from Art Importer to woek with ATM. We cannot use Freedom of the Press because we need to user the software from the matrix to shoot the slides. I doubt I can do this, but I'm open to ideas ---- ProLine: markc@pro-angmar Internet: pro-angmar!markc@alfalfa.com UUCP: uunet!alfalfa!pro-angmar!markc

Metamorphosis 1.5 will convert Type 3 fonts to Type 1 fonts. You can get it at MacConnection for under $100. It should also offer support for conversion to TrueType fonts RSN.

I doubt > I can do this, but I'm open to ideas I'm not exactly sure what is needed, but I think you are looking for font conversion. If that is case, Metamorphosis by Altsys can convert fonts in any direction between (Postscript) Types 1 and 3 and Apple's new TrueType format. Only version 2.0 does the latter. John -- John A.

In fact, I'm unaware of *any* program that can convert AI fonts. I believe the problem is with Art Importer (if you can really call it a problem--I think it's an artifact of the entire design of the program, importing things from elsewhere rather than creating them within the program). You could try calling Altsys. -- Ralph Brandi ralph@mtunq.att.com att!mtunq!ralph Nothing falls up without being hurled
