Mac font via fontographer to pc fontI have Fontographer 4.04 and I run it in Classic on Mac OSX 10.3.3.
I have a Mac Postscript font and I have to add an euro character which
does not exist in the font.
I check out on which decimal character the euro is placed in my other
font, and find that decimal 219 is where to place it.
I generate at first a new Mac font and it works nice. Then I generate a
pc TrueType font and mail the font to the person who needs it. She tells
me that the euro exists allright - but on a wrong decimal. She tells me
that she needs it to be placed on decimal 128. This however is occupied

Font Book refuses to put certain fonts into a collectionAny attempt to include certain fonts which appear in the "All Fonts" list in
Font Book in a font collection fails to work. The fonts are added to the
collection by dragging and dropping, either a single font at a time or a
group of fonts. When a group is so dragged most of the fonts then appear in
the collection but occasionally some do not. This is happening with about one
in forty fonts. All of the fonts involved have been "certified" by FontAgent
Pro as being free of any problems.

OS X system fonts not showing up in Font Book -- why?I'm running OS X 10.4.2 and the following fonts in /System/Library/Fonts fail

All of the fonts located in /Library/Fonts (217 fonts) do show up in Font

Any idea why it is that Font Book doesn't "like" the fonts I've listed?

Why does Font Book font count vary from accoount to account? [follow-up]A few days ago I posted the following (Apologies for the repost, but due to a

--------------------
Here's the situation.....
I'm running OS X 10.4.1 on the most recent model of an 17" AlBook.

Font Book vs. "Those Professional Font Managers"Here's an example of something that is trivial to do in Apple's Font Book and
I'm curious as to how easily the same thing is accomplished in one of the
"professional" font managers such as Font Explorer or Suitcase Fusion.
When Adobe's Creative Suite 2 is installed a folder is created in
Library/Application Support/Fonts that contains some 180 .otf files each of
which contains a single face within a font family. Thus a given font family
can be represented by one or more .otf files.
What is helpful (at least to me) is to place all of the .otf files for a

I think there must be a way to automate this from Word but there also
may be a simpler way so I will give way to someone who knows more than
me.
In the meantime you might Google "automate Microsoft Word font" or
something like that. You might even try sticking in "palette" as an
optional search term. Who knows what might turn up?

Large fontsI have a Thinkpad A22p running WinXP, which has a resolution of 1600 x
1200 on the native LCD. Normal fonts are too hard (for me) to read at
that resolution, so I use large fonts (120 dpi).
But that's on the native LCD. The rest of the time, I have it docked
and attached to a 19" monitor running at 1280 x 1024, and at that
resolution I prefer normal fonts.
It's somewhat of a pain every time I switch configurations to have to
change the DPI settings and reboot. Is there a way to tell WinXP to
"Use Large Fonts when you're on the native LCD, Normal Fonts when you're
on the external display!"?

What are nil2 fonts and cursor fontsHi,

In "man xterm" , the Resources section:
iconFont (class IconFont)
Specifies the font for the miniature active icon window, if
this feature is compiled into xterm. The default is "nil2".
....so I'd guess that nil2 is a set of icons that are arranged into a
font file. This isn't really something that's insanely important.
> Also another related question: what [are] cursor fonts?
IIRC, these are fonts where each character is mapped to a pixmap that
can be used as a cursor. 'A' = pointer, 'B' = hourglass, 'C' = resize
left-right, 'D' = resize top-bottom, etcetera. HTH,

Making a font from another fontHi, I would like to create some virtual font from a Type 1 font
that should behave exactly as the original one except for one
thing: the characters should be print according to a -1 1 scale.
Warning:
[-1 0 0 1 0 0] makefont
does not what I want, since it reverses the printing direction.
For instance: (ABCDE) show
should print ABCDE in this very same order but each letter should
be horizontally mirrored. How can I do that?

Are you familiar with the family of books Adobe puts out about PS? I'm
talking the 'green book' the 'red boot' the 'blue book'. One of them is
basically a cookbook and has examples of digging in and modifying fonts -
I think it would have what you need. Try a nearby university library,
technical library or inter-library loan.

organize fonts in font menuWhat program can you organize Windows fonts by styles instead of in

similar on Windows? It's really time consuming when searching for a

You don't need to add anything. Just run fc-cache. This really has
nothing to do with X. If you want to make X aware of your new font,
you should run mkfontscale and mkfontdir in that directory.

what is an easy way to change the font in an entire application ?

but nothing happens

my system. An example such as the LaTeX Font catalogue's text example [2]

font.
I'm using this in the context of:
\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{emerald}
\fontfamily{cmss}\fontsize{12pt}{13pt}\selectfont
Here's the body of my text
{\ECFAugie Some notes in the magin}
Body text continues...
\end{document}
I wish to use cmss as my default font and Augie enclosed in a group only for
short notes. Yet {\ECFAugie \fontsize(10pt) doesn't work as I'd hope}
Thanks in advance for any pointers,
Stroller.
