- There are two things you must take care of. First make sure you font
- directory has been added to the file init.ps. Assuming your type 1
- fonts are in data:outlinefonts/outlines-type1-HQ/ the following entry
- must be present:
-
- systemdict
- /findfont
- {
- [...]
- % Look in all our font directories
- dup FontDirectory exch known not % Not in FontDirectory?
- { dup (data:outlinefonts/outlines-type1-HQ/) () loadfont
- } if
- [...]
-
- Second, the file name of the font file must be the same as the FontName
- referenced in the PostScript code. Examples of valid file names for
- post are:
-
- Times-Roman
- Bodoni-BoldItalic
-
- Invalid file names are:
-
- TimesRoman
- Bodoni-BoldItalic.pfb
-
- Hope that helps
