Jim, I've been following this most interesting thread about regrouping your fonts with NFNT's. Your printing problems are most curious. You didn't say in what program you created your Command-F file (Xpress?). But I couldn't figure out how you got the printer font names you listed there. The PostScript printer font name for Helvetica Condensed Light is "Helvetica-Condensed-Light". For Helvetica Condensed Light Oblique it is "Helvetica-Condensed-LightObl". There are no spaces and no periods in the name. For example, I have just opened Illustrator 88 and created two lines of text, the first in Helvetica Condensed Light, and the second in Helvetica Condensed Light Oblique. Here, close to the top of the file, is a portion of the code when the Apple Print Manager re-encodes these two fonts: bu fc {}mark T /Helvetica-Condensed-LightObl /|______Helvetica-Condensed-LightObl 0 rf bn 1 fz bu fc 2 F /|______Helvetica-Condensed-LightObl fnt bn ( )show …….. [lines missing] bu fc {}mark T /Helvetica-Condensed-Light /|______Helvetica-Condensed-Light 0 rf bn bu fc 2 F /|______Helvetica-Condensed-Light fnt bn ( )show Try a PostScript file from Illustrator and see what you get.
