What is the font format used by AAPro? I understand that it is possible to convert fonts to be used by AAPro; how is this done? I have a bunch of inhouse fonts that I'd like to use with the package. Thanks for any assistance. Eli

It likes HP LaserJet bitmap fonts. If you've got those, it should read them right in. If you have outline fonts, you'll need a conversion utility, like SoftType from Zsoft to convert from outline to bitmap. – Jack

Thanks, Jack. I've got SoftType, so converting the fonts to HPLJ format will be no problem. (Did I miss this somewhere in the docs? Couldn't find it through the index!) Eli

Nope, you didn't miss it in the docs. It fell through the crack somewhere, and I can't say I'm real happy about it. (There seem to be an awful lot of cracks that spring up about a month before the docs get printed.) – J
