[comp.sys.amiga.applications] PageStream and fonts

pavlovid@sirius.cs.rpi.edu (Dragana Pavlovic) (04/17/91)

I have a friend who owns PageStream, and would like to use some
home-made fonts in it.  However, he doesn't have a font editor,
and has recruited me to help him find one.

I noticed that there is a font editor on the fish disks, but I
don't know whether that would do the job, since  I don't know anything
about how fonts are handled on the Amiga.  Are they separate
files that are read by the system and shared by all applications?
Or are they specific to an application?  And does he need
anything special (in terms of software) to use PostScript fonts?
(except the fonts themselves of course).  He has a LaserJet.

Thanks!

There is a commercial font editor for Pagestream available directly from
Soft-Logik. That's all I know about it. If you have Postscript fonts, you
just add them to the Pagestream FONTS directory and they're used just like
any other fonts. They print out nicely, too.
