#postscript fonts
5 messages in this thread
hi amiga dtp users. i just downloaded some fonts from the library
including "bangle" and balthazar. the afm files show up but for whatever
reason, pagestream doesn't see them. is it just me? help me if you can
with some ideas. thanks
Greg… you need to use the FONT MANAGER from within PageStream to ADD
these fonts to the PageStream FontsList. After adding them, if you want to
have them available each time you load PAgeStream, be sure to UPDATE and
SAVE DEFAULT.
Greg,
Pagestream, which version? You have to install both the .AFM and the .PFB
files of the font, go into SET/SAVE Paths under the GLOBAL menu item
select Fontmanager, choose ADD, select the path to where the files are
located and then save the defaults. Then they should show up in the font
window.

I understand the operations of the page stream font manager etc. I checked
the directory. the afm files are there, but the pagestream fon
manager doesnt "see" them. I have dir. opus. and verified their inclusion
in the directory. they are the only two fonts that don't show
up in the pagestream font manager. the p files show up but not the afm….
I think there is a bug in those particular files. bangle.lha a
and baltha.lha. let me know what you find out.
Greg: if you put AFM files in a directory, and add the directory with the
font manager, and they don't show up in the file list, then they are bad
AFM files. There is some illegal operator in them or something wrong with
them and PageStream will not use them. This is probably due to an incorrect
Mac to PC conversion process.
