<P><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">Let me outline the method I came up with for this problem:</FONT>
</P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">1. At the DOS prompt, run ttf2afm to create the *.afm files, following the Berry naming conventions.</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">2. Put a fontinst TeX file in the afm directory to create the font family. Run this TeX file.</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">3. Run vptovf on all the *.vpl files. Put the *.vf and *.tfm files where they belong.</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">4. Run pltotf on all the *.pl files. Put the *.tfm files where they belong (which is debatable).</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">5. Update the font name database in the shell which runs TeX. Run the LaTeX file which uses the relevant font(s). The font inclusion in the YaP file should be poor, due to missing *.pk files at the appropriate scaled sizes.</FONT></P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">6. Manually create the *.pk files scaled appropriately using ttf2pk.</FONT>
</P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">I am not certain that all these steps are necessary; I only know what worked.</FONT>
