[comp.sys.amiga.applications] Creating PostScript Fonts

ajahn@digi.lonestar.org (Alfredo Jahn) (06/25/91)

I am interested in creating my own fonts (Postscript) Adobe type 1?  I am kinda
new to this DTP stuff...  Anyway, I use PageStream 2.1 and I want to create my 
own fonts to use with it. (I have a Postscript printer too).  Any ideas?  
Someone told me about a program called Interfont (?).  Is this a good package?
Are there any PD packages available for the Amiga that produce PageStream 
readable fonts.  How do you create Soft Logic fonts?  Please EMail responses 
and I will post the results.  BTW, are there any good books that explain more 
on font creation, etc.  Does anyone know how PageStream downloads fonts to a 
Postscript printer?  I have a lot of PD fonts that are labeled as "Adobe Fonts".
What is the difference between fonts labeled "Adobe" and "Postscript"?  Are 
they the same?  What about "Soft Logic" fonts?  

Boy, I sure have a lot of questions....  Thanks in advance!
