- The CGFonts:PS/ directory is used by PPage. It has nothing to do with
- PageStream.

-
- CGFonts cannot be printed directly to a PostScript printer since they
- are in a completely different format than PS fonts. Most PS printers
- have 35 resident fonts (including Times and Helvetica [==Triumvirate])
- so PageStream automatically changes all references to CGTimes to
- the internal Times font in the PS printer. There's also a PS
- version of Garamond supplied with PageStream (because most PS
- printers don't have Garamond resident) which will be included
- in PageStream's PS output.
-
- As Post does not have any resident fonts you must either make sure
- that you're using a font in Soft-Logik format or Garamond in CG
- format or you must supply the font in Adobe Type 1 format and
- put it into Post's font path.
