- Welp, I run GhostScript under both Linux and OS/2 (although not DOS), so the
- following might be of help. I just use the Adobe fonts that came with
- ATM:).
-
- My Fontmap file under Linux contains lines such as the following:
-
- /Helvetica-Oblique /Helvetica-Italic ;
- /Helvetica-BoldOblique /Helvetica-BoldItalic ;
- /Helvetica (/mnt/d/psfonts/helv.pfb) ;
- /Helvetica-Italic (/mnt/d/psfonts/helvi.pfb) ;
- /Helvetica-Bold (/mnt/d/psfonts/helvb.pfb) ;
- /Helvetica-BoldItalic (/mnt/d/psfonts/helvbi.pfb) ;
-
- Substitute the appropriate Linux path for /mnt/d/psfonts.
- Under OS/2 the file includes lines like:
-
- /Helvetica-Oblique /Helvetica-Italic ;
- /Helvetica-BoldOblique /Helvetica-BoldItalic ;
- /Helvetica (d:/psfonts/helv.pfb) ;
- /Helvetica-Italic (d:/psfonts/helvi.pfb) ;
- /Helvetica-Bold (d:/psfonts/helvb.pfb) ;
- /Helvetica-BoldItalic (d:/psfonts/helvbi.pfb) ;
-
- These are, unfortunately, the Adobe fonts that came with OS/2, so I suspect
- you will instead have paths that look something like those in my ATM.INI
- file for Winbloze:
-
- Helvetica=c:\windows\psfonts\pfm\hv______.pfm,c:\windows\psfonts\hv______.pfb
- Helvetica,BOLD=c:\windows\psfonts\pfm\hvb_____.pfm,c:\windows\psfonts\hvb_____.pfb
- Helvetica,BOLDITALIC=c:\windows\psfonts\pfm\hvbo____.pfm,c:\windows\psfonts\hvbo____.pfb
- Helvetica,ITALIC=c:\windows\psfonts\pfm\hvo_____.pfm,c:\windows\psfonts\hvo_____.pfb
-
- Similar concept, just give it a proper font name (look at the existing
- fontmap for ideas) and the path to the fonts pfb file.
-
- Have fun.
