- The FONTS.DOC file states that GS can deal with .PFB and .PFA files
- directly. I changed GS_LIB to point to the ATM directory for Desqview
- X and added
-
- /TM (tir_____.pfb) ;
-
- to Fontmap.
-
- When I try to access the font (i.e. /TM findfont) I get:
-
- Loading TM font from c:\dvx\...\atm\tir_____.pfb... 626416 605403 0 done.
- Loading TM font failed, substituting Ugly.
- Loading Ugly font from uglyr.gsf (etc...)
-
- I tried other .pfb fonts from the directory, and also from another
- machine with ATM for windows installed. All recieved similar errors
- (the numbers were the only differences). I also tried renaming the
- files (to get rid of underscores) and to place them in the normal GS
- font directory. All with the same results. All of the GS fonts load
- and work.
-
- Any ideas??
-
- I already have all those nice fonts on the machine, seems a waste to
- not be able to using in GS as well. (Instead of the outlines based on
- bitmaps that are included)
-
- Did I miss something in the documentation??
-
- Thanks..
