Hi Folks! So I got this Fresh Fonts CD's and found a few nice fonts which I would use for Lightwave3.5 on my Amiga. The manual claims that LW uses the adobe font format and the fonts on the cd are also stored in adobe postscript format. But every font consists of several files named *.pfm *.pfb *.afm and so on. Which of them are required for use as a LW Toasterfont? Is ist possible to use the files as they are? Or am I forced to use some conversion utility? After fiddling around with these different files I gave up and none has worked. Anyone got it to work? thanks in advance, Dirk Taggesell

Dirk: It's been awhile since I have added files to my colection, but what you should do is make a Dir and name it something like NEW_FONTS just to keep them fromgetting mix up with all the others. Then you definatly need to copy the .AFM files and one of the others I forget which. But Try one if it works Viola, if not try the ofther. Brad Hayes Hayes Visual Communication
