Jim MIfont _doesn't_ create bitmaps from Type-1 fonts. It creates bitmaps from Mac screen fonts which often come with Type-1 fonts. There is a "PD" utility which _will_ generate bitmaps (metrics and atc's) from Type-1 fonts … called mkbmap, mkmetric and mcatc. To use MIfont you need to have the Mac screen font available. You also need to have the PostScript Type-1 font file available … either locally, so that ProPage can donwload it to the PScript printer, or have it already resident in the printer. You also need to have the AFM file available. Mike (Whapping from the UK)
