The gain, Ulrike, would be that in order to answer Rolf's <i>cri de
cœur</i>, one would simply have to say "use the AFMPFX package,
Rolf — that will allow you to use not only BrushScriptX-Italic, but
will also allow you to use any type-1 font listed in the catalogue.
And if you want to use some fonts that exist only in a different
format, then you just need to load the package for that format,
regardless of the actual font(s) that you want to use".<br>
