I have been trying to use some additional compugraphic fonts with Pagestream2.0 with little success. (The fonts are for use with ProPage but seem to render just fine on PageStream's screen). After pouring over the postscript code I see that rather than using the correct name such as Palatino, it is simplying substituting in Helvetica. The two PageStream fonts (Roman and Triumverate) work just fine, but I want Palacio and SchoolBook and Chancery to work as well. Is there an alias file that I need to work with or what? I have tried fiddling with FONTSEQUIVv2 or what ever it is called, but no luck there! Help anyone who has done this b4. thanks.

The following seem relevant: there are two versions of many fonts: CS fonts have witdths identical to their postscript counterparts. CG fonts do not; the fonts included with pagestream are CS fonts. Compugraphic fonts are not normally compatible with postscript printers, postscript users should get postscript type 1 fonts. The compugraphic fonts included with pagestream will print to postscript printers because they have postscript equivalents. "Compugraphic fonts sold separately be companies such as AGFA and Gold Disk may be used with Pagestream, but not those bundled with other programs." If you want to be able to use all of the fonts in your postscript printer, try getting the "PageStream Fonts Plus Pak". It has equivalent font files for screen display and non-postscript printing. It also has the PostScript header files for all 35 of the standard postscript fonts. Wildstar
