The Type 1's in 3DS are specifically designed for 3D Studio. Not only do they lack the font metric information they also lack hinting information, kerning information and several other neat little tidbits that would make them suitable for DTP work. They are also licensed for use specifically for 3DS, not for other programs. Although there are ways to create the pfms for the fonts, the other key info that was excluded from the sets, can cause extreme damage to Windows and any programs running under windows. So if you try it and you end up needing to re low level you hard disk and reload everything on it, just remember you were forwarned. Take Care, Paul
