- If you've got the time, I have a question:
-
- I've got a PC-version of an Adobe font (EurostileTwo, consisting
- of .afm .inf and .pfb files) that I'd like to convert so that we
- can use it on our printers and xterms.
-
- Adobe says they don't make any Unix versions of their fonts ("yet"),
- but suggested that there was shareware that might do the conversion.
- I ftp'd the fontutils-0.5 package and took a look at what was in it,
- but there doesn't seem to be anything to help me. Part of the problem
- is that I have no idea what kind of conversion I'd have to do to the
- font for it to be availiable to Wyse xterms running off of SCO/Open
- Desktop (2.0) Unix. But hey, the note in the README file suggested
- this mailbox for questions, so I thought I'd give it a shot.
-
- Muchly obliged in advance for any help you can give me,
- Carl
