I have attached the PDF file to this email. I don't think this font (Futura) has characters which are much larger than the other fonts. I have previously converted this TTF font to TFM, and have been able to use it directly in Latex, without any problems. I was hoping that I would be able to avoid the TTF-> TFM conversion for all fonts that I want to use, by switching to xelatex.<BR><BR> If you need any additional information, please let me know.<BR><BR></DIV></BLOCKQUOTE><BR></DIV><DIV>I just tried a Futura font that I happen to have available, and it seemed to work fine. But it's most likely a different font/version. Exactly what "Futura" font are you using -- is it available somewhere so others can test the same version?</DIV><DIV><BR class="khtml-block-placeholder"></DIV><DIV>JK</DIV><DIV><BR class="khtml-block-placeholder"></DIV><BR></BODY></HTML>
