Rich,
Curiouser and curiouser. The font is indeed made by Fontographer.
When I put it in my directory both with and without the .pfb extension
(i.e. 2 copies with different names) and run the following commands:
/LSCScript findfont 12 scalefont setfont
108 396 moveto
(ABCD abcd) show
I get invalidfont. When I issue the same commands with LSCScript.pfb as
the font name, Post executes correctly, but gives me the default font
(which I've set as Times-Roman). This is what Post is supposed to do if it
can't find the font, so I guess it is operating correctly.
Oh, by the way, I uploaded the zip'd file. Hopefully it arrived safely.
I may be off the air for about 2 weeks because of some unusual busy-ness in
my life. If you or anyone else can crack the problem, I'd love to hear the
answer.
The background to all this is that I would like to build a collection of
fonts for use in presentations that I make at work. I would particularly
like to have a handwriting font, which LSCScript is. So far, I've been
unable to use any font created by Fontographer, and unfortunately it seems
that all fonts uploaded in the last 3-6 months have been created using that
tool.
