Fonts
Derek;
When it comes to fonts I'm really not too knowledgeable. I mostly publish
industrial training courses and the vast majority of font use is times and
helvetica. Not only that but when I want something special now I tend to
do the work in ArtExpressing, convert to a graphic and import to PgS.
Now having covered myself for the potential errors <grin>, yes Adobe Type
1 fonts will work with PgS. In my personal experience, I feel that they
are "too slow" for general use but I do use them for brochures,
announcements and similar 1 and 2 page stuff.
I have played just a little with TypeSmith to try converting the Type 1's
to CG fonts but am not real successful in the process. I believe that it
is more of a "printer" or "fontequiv" problem though. That is to say,
TypeSmith seems to do the conversion just fine but when I try to use the
fonts in PgS the screen display is fine and the print out is not what was
expected. It has worked for me at least once and I believe that I made a
"hand" entry in the PgS fontequiv table.
Michael knows this area quite well so if I have "bum doped you" hopefully
he will jump in and set things right.
