Chris:
I've noted your requests and since I haven't recieved any other specific
Type 1 font titles, I guess your's make the list! Congratulations! You can
pick up your prize at the door…
About the Mac to IBM thing: It's going along alot faster than I thought.
I've actually got the conversion part working (takes about 1 or 2 seconds)
and I'm just sprucing up the interface. I'm trying to get a configurable
Source/Destination path system set up that would be far more flexible than
typing in "Okay, where's your source files…" etc. I'm also going to have
an option for gang-converting everything in the source directory with one
click. BTW, does anything have to be done to the AFM's other than re-naming
them to follow the printer font's names? Does PageStream care what the
files are called? If not, then I'm going to use MIfont's naming algorithm
and call the printer fonts <fontname>.PFB and the AFMs <fontname>.AFM. If
you see any problem with this, let me know. Also, you won't have to worry
about all this resource and data fork nonsense. If it's a Mac Type 1 font,
this baby'll figure it out, fork or no fork. Later.
Gary.
