#Utopia.pfb
7 messages in this thread
Could someone please tell me what good it did me to download the Utopia
font family which DOES NOT contain the pfb files? Pagestream 2.2 needs the
pfb files for the font to be of any use at all. Does ProPage not have this
requirement? (Although I don't see how) Did I waste all that time
downloading 200k worth of useless diskfiller?

Two things:
1. The contents of the file are stated in the description.
2. The .pfb files are there, but are not called by that name. The file
contains standard postScript fonts, which are not required to have an
extensions such as
pfb. The files you want are:
Utopia-BoldItalic
Utopia-Bold
Utopia-Regular

I understand what you are saying, but how do I get Pagestream to
recognise the font. I renamed the main files with the .pfb extension and
it still would not work. What do I need to do?

Branden,
Sorry, I have no idea at all. I have never used Pagestream.

Hi. The problem with the Utopia fonts and PageStream is that they are not
PFB fonts; PFB is the IBM standard of Type 1 fonts and PgS uses PFB's. What
these fonts are, are flat files, or straight ASCII files. Mirror Image's
software has no trouble reading them… wish everybody else treated Type
1's the same…<sigh>. Sorry, but they're of no use to you (unless you find
an ASCII-PFB converter; I've never heard of one though…) Gary BRusanowski

Gary:
Thanks for the information! (even though it isn't what I wanted to hear 🙂
By the way, what kind of software does Mirror Image have? I don't recall
hearing of it before.
Thanx again for the info.

We sell font conversion programs for PPage and PDraw. There should be some
demos up here with text files. Just search for "MI". Gary
