Hello, all! I have ProPage by Gold Disk, and I've got some Compugraphic Fonts. I was commissioned by a co-worker (should be set off by commas, sorry) to convert the Franklin Gothic Adobe typeface from IBM to Amiga-usable formats. There's a package out there that helps (PSFont, by Canadian Software Developers), but it leaves me with bitmapped screen fonts (copied from existing screen font information. It is tough to go back to the poor clarity of the Bitmapped screen font after using the CG scaleable screen fonts. Does anyone know a way of tapping the CG resources I've already got? Is there a way to use the metrics from the CG fonts, or something? The CG fonts and the bitmapped fonts are different enough in conception and execution that no ready solution simply presents itself. I'd appreciate any informed guessing (or even good blind guessing, I suppose). Thanks, –Paul
