- Hi People,
-
- As the sublect says, I'd like to know how ATM figures out if a
- bitmapped font is the same as a Type-1 font. Since the fontnames
- contain all sorts of abbreviations, ATM has to figure out somehow if a
- font in the System and its Type-1 version in the Extensions folder
- belong to each other. I was trying to look at some pairs that work and
- some that don't and couldn't figure it out. (By 'doesn't work' I mean
- a Type-1 font which doesn't get loaded even though there is a
- bitmapped font installed with the same name.)
-
- Please send email.
