It uses ttfto42 or ttf2pfb for convertion to Type[42|1]. Converting TTF to Type1 is a solution but not always the best one, because you are loosing some information of the TTF. > But this method might be a tad complicated for your use. > You might try pdf2ps or pdftops. That should work, but it would be much nicer if latex -> dvips works too. Uwe -- MMK GmbH, Fleyer Str. 196, 58097 Hagen Uwe.Steinmann@mmk-hagen.de Tel: 02331 840446 Fax: 02331 843920
