Re: font trouble

I have been working with ps-fonts but i guess that the problems are 
almost the same...

You mean you print from acrobat reader to a ps-printer?
I that case Acroread version 5 works but not version 4. (That is my 
experience) Version 5 was not available for unix so I only tested that 
on a windows mashine.

In case you use fop to generate ps you have to send the font along 
yourself unless the printer alread knows it. I have prepended the 
ps-file with the pfa-file (ascii-version of ps-font file)
