Does anybody know if TrueType works with System 6.0.x or does it not? If it does, how do you get it to work? Please e-mail your responses to agus@Seattleu.EDU. Thank you. -- Supriatno Agus Seattle University, Computer & Information Services Seattle, Washington 98122 Phone: (206)296-5550 E-mail: agus@sumax.seattleu.edu

I loaded the TrueType fonts into my System File and put the TrueType Init into the System Folder. That's it. -- Christian E.

I wanted to put the TrueType init into my system folder, but what I got from apple.com only included the fonts. Where can I get the init? Also, when I tried to get other fonts from mac.archive.umich.edu I couldn't get them (they have :c4 attached to their names, what does that mean).

I actually verified that they do work together today. I tried using the truetype fonts in the info-mac/font/tt directory at sumex-aim.stanford.edu. The fonts in that directory are given in the regular, AFM and trutype formats. T tried using the truetype format fonts by opening them up with Suitcase II. Everything seemed to work fine. They showed nicely on the screen at various sizes and printed even nicer on our laserwriter II-NT. The only question I have is the following: Supposedly you need only one font file to describe the font in any size, since it is descibed geometrically. However some of the fonts came in more than one sizes - and this doesn't make much sense to me. Regards Tony
