Re: Problem with type 42 font

[Yannis Haralambous <yannis@fluxus-virus.com>]

I have just discovered ttf2pf, the Polish TTF->Type 42 converter, which works FINE.

You can get it from:

ftp://ftp.gust.org.pl/TeX/GUST/contrib/BachoTeX98/ttf2pf

It uses gs, and to use it under Unix you first have to do a small change:

in file ttf2pf.ps:

s/GS_TTF.PS/gs_ttf.ps/g;
s/PF2AFM.PS/pf2afm.ps/g;

(DOS-oriented??)

I had no time yet to test it on all fonts, but this may well be the ultimate tool.
Long live Poland!

Actually I mispelled it: it is ttfps I'm using. I got it from
ftp://ftp.dcs.ed.ac.uk/pub/jec/programs/ttfps.tar.gz
I compiled it under Linux and it works fine, except for times.ttf
