Greetings, Maybe the subject does not make much sense. When I use SUITCASE II to show fonts, it indicates some fonts, such as Chicago, as bitmap fonts, and others, such as Courier, having a Laser font counterpart under the name such as Couri. I wonder where is this piece of information stored and if it can be changed? My real problem is this: I am running the Chinese Mac System 6.03, both Taibei and Beijing version. All the fancy Chinese fonts, such as Song, are shown to have corresponding Laser fonts. Anyway, if there is a LaserWriter directly connected to the Mac, the documents will be printed properly with the right Chinese Characters, or at least I was told so. However, I do not have a LaserWriter connected on my Mac, and I usually get eps file by control-f and upload it to mainframe for printing. When I capture the eps file, the system assumes Laser font exists in the printer and thus, will not generate the Chinese characters according to what it sees on the screen. Obviously the Chinese laser font does not exist in the LaserWriter on mainframe, and thus no Chinese characters are printed with the eps file. I was wondering maybe if I somehow make the system believe the Chinese fonts are bitmapped, then my problem can be solved. Please send me E-mail. Thank you. -- -- Kang Sun Internet: sun@robios.eng.yale.edu
