John, I have gotten PgS 2.0 to use the PP extra cost fonts, so the manual is correct. The fonts "path" points to only the first "main" PgS font directory. each separate CG font (directory) must be "ADD"ed with the font manager. But then you said you did that? I entered the manager through the set paths requestor (that's new to 2.0) and then exited the set paths requestor by hitting the "default" button. Maybe that made a difference? BTW the CG fonts are great to look at on the screen – but BOY are they slow!! On my 030 2500 the slow down is a minor inconvenience, but on a stock 2000 they are a major exercise in patience!! To all who don't have an accelerated Amiga I would suggest you use PgS fonts for the initial design then switch to the CG fonts when you are almost ready to print. You can also run PgS along with vscreen. That way you can scroll around the entire page without it having to be redrawn. Check over in the IBM forums for PD postscript fonts I think I have seen a few over there. There is a program on SL's BBS to convert MAC PSfonts into the IBM format that PgS supports. PD MAC fonts seem to be much more plentiful so I'll see if I can upload that program here. The programmers over at SL have stated that they are not willing to "reverse engineer" the Gold Disk's clip file format. I don't blame them. But I have seen messages posted that if anyone else would like to do that and provide them with a well documented file format, that they would try to whip up an import module. On the plus side did you know that PgS 2.0 WILL import IBM EPS files with TIFF bitmaps, display the image on screen, and print the TIFF image to non PS printers! Now I have not been able to try this yet, but I'm off to the IBM forums to see if I can grab one to give it a try! -Paul-
