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. – Mirror Image Prod.
