My release of Linux (Suse) comes with ttf2afm, which converts ttf to afm. I've never used it (most linux desktops can use X11, ttf, or Postscript fonts). Send your font files to me and I'll see what I can do.

Your .afm files should be in your mail. Are they what you need?

It sound like what you want is a conversion from truetype font to a Postscript font. A Postscript font is comprised of several files: a pfa or pfb file that contains the actual font and a afm file that stores the font "metrics". Combined these two files: the pfa or pfb file and the afm file make one font.

Only a few applications, specifically Tex, seem to able to use a afm file to enable the program to use a ttf font.

Hi Mark.

Just to let you know I got the same results with the last set of fonts also. 

I had been using QAFONT.EXE to append the fonts to the printer file.  And I was getting the error message in the big red error message block.  And using a hex editor I could see that the fonts appeared to be there, but were not showing up in the font list.

But today is a new dawning, and I am now closer to a solution.
What I needed to do was to use the Modify Font utility.  I needed to clear out some empty font definitions, and enter the names for the correct printer.

So I now have the fonts showing up, I can select them and assign them to text.  That is much better. 

Now I just need to find out what the correct On/Off codes are.  And how to enter the esc code (027).  When I use the num keypad to enter the 027, it functions like an ESC key (which it is) and prompts me about escaping vs. typing the left arrow symbol.  and there does not appear to be any way to copy this code from another font.

But these are all problems unique to Q&A right now.  At least I have the font definitions available to work with. 
Need to get this user to switch from Q&A to Sesame....aargh!

Thanks again for the conversions.

Yes, I did get them, Mark.

Yes, I am using Mail Frontier, you should only have seen that one time if you responded to it.

Problem now, as stated earlier, is how to enter the "left arrow" symbol for ESC in the print string for some of the fonts.  When I use "027" it functions as an ESC key and wants to Escape.  I may need to copy existing values from another font and then paste using DOS paste for the entry.  Then I will edit results.

Thanks for following up.  I am having discussions with account now about using another soluton.  I may have enough evidence to show some inherent difficulties in their plans.  At this point I am all set for testing.  Don't know if I will need fonts converted in future.

Thanks again.
