I've since downloaded the *.AFM files for the Times, Helvetica, Courier,
and Symbol fonts, that are in the PC ATM package, from the Adobe forum
library and after unpacking them (they are in Packit format) using A-Max II
and transferring them using the Postscript option to AmigaDOS, I copied
them into a directory where I already had the files from the PC ATM disk
(which I had transferred using Cross-Dos without translation options). With
all of that in the directory, I started up PgS and using the font manager
added the directory to the list and used the update command to add the
fonts. Then I went back into PgS and tried to use the fonts. They don't
show up. I've checked the *.AFM files, they are standard ASCII Postscript
files. The *.PFB files are in binary with an ASCII header containing
copyright information.
What can I be doing wrong? Although the font manager section of the
handbook is well-written for when things go right, there is nothing in
there to cover when things go wrong. (Not a major complaint, just a bit of
feedback). Also, I am a registered user with Soft-Logik in
North America, although I live in Germany. I've noticed that notification
of upgrades seems to come 6 weeks to 8 weeks behind my friends in the
computer club with APO addresses. Is there any special reason for that? I
would like to be kept up to date at the same speed as the other users. I
recall being notified of the update from 1.6 to 1.8 about 2 or 3 months
after my friend, and he had his 2.1 update at least 2months before I was
even notified that I could update. Please do somehting to rectify this.
