Postscript FontName: AGaramond-Italic
Macintosh Menu Name: AGaramond Italic
MacOutline FileName: AGarIta
Windows/PC MenuName: AGaramond
Windows/PC FileName: gdi_____.pfb
To remap fonts you have to use two lines:
/AGaramond Italic /AGaramond-Italic ;
/AGaramond-Italic (gdi_____.pfb) ;
Some examples:
/Font-requested-for-printing /A-Different-Font ;
/A-Different-Font (foo_____.pfb) ;
/Helvetica-Narrow /Sans-Narrow ;
/Sans-Narrow (hln_____.pfb) ;
/Palatino-Roman /Palton-Roman ;
/Palton-Roman (por_____.pfb) ;
Please tell me if it worked for you, and if so I will write
an entry for use in the FAQ.
