I've just received PgS 2.2 & AE. I've used Pp since it was PageSetter so I'm not without some idea of DTP & fonts. I can't figure out your font system so I can use my Pp CG & PS fonts. I understand the theory, but not the mechanics of PgS. Everyone has raved about your font management so I would love to take advantage of it. Can I use the Ppage CG & PS 3 files in PgS as is, or must I find the original PS 1 files & make YET another dir!? I see that PgS PS fonts need a header to tell PgS it is to be downloaded (or not)…must I redo all my Pp PS fonts in a PgS format? I tried putting the Pp CGFonts dir in the PgS font path…got beautiful screen fonts but no PS printout for them, only Helvetica. BTW is there a limit to the number of fonts to a dir? Some at the beginning didn't show up, but did come into the string gadget when I clicked on the first ones….weird? Exactly what files DO I need and where do they go? For argument's sake I want a floppy with a collection of Headline fonts-ONLY CG & PS- what dirs & files do I put on it? It's just not clear to me. The PS dir in PgS has a dir for each font! WHY? Do I have to set up my Pp fonts that way for PgS? Gracia
