- [it's too early in the morning to be worrying about deleting .sig files.. :D)
-
- The system uses the first five letters in the first word of a font name,
- plus the first three letters of each succeeding capitalized word, to find the
- PostScript file. Thus, if you are using Jacksonville Old Style, the system
- will search for a PostScript file called "JacksOldSty".
- If you ever have to put the suitcase of a bitmap and the PostScript file
- in the same folder, and they have similar names (i.e., I have a suitcase
- and a PostScript file, both of which are called "Revue"), always change the
- suitcase name
- (i.e., "Revue bitmap", or "Revue Suitcase." I call mine "Revue ". Note
- the space...)
-
- Sorry if I sound officious, I'm being brief because I want to finish reading
- this and go to bed.. ;)
