Michael: What I've heard about the conversion utility from Soft Logik is that a) the interface sucks (I know, I downloaded it and find it lacking) b) I tried to process an Adobe Mac Type 1 font that I have and it told me it wasn't a Mac font! (which is odd, since my software has no trouble with it) and c) it doesn't (according to some PageStream users I've talked to) convert the font so that you can access ALL the characters in the font. The machinery that I've written into my Type 1 – PDraw font program extracts every character that the font contains, and it's already written. That's pretty much why I suggested adapting it, although perhaps you're right in saying that I should possibly contact Soft-Logik. The trouble is I don't have an example of what sort of IBM font you get with their utility. Maybe I can convince one of you kind souls to send one up to me (PD of course). Gary. – Mirror Image Prod.
