I wonder, what the software author's (babkin@bellatlantic.net) > can tell us :) I believe that the new t1asm from t1utils should work fine but I did not try it personally (though I think some other people did). The problem with ttf2pt1 is that as of now it's not designed to be installed at all, it's more of a build-convert your fonts-throw it away type tool. After being installed the scripts will break badly. Making it more generally installable is on the ToDo list but with low priority. My current vision is to install t1asm (and maybe some stuff from other/) into PREFIX/lib/ttf2pt1. Maybe also install t1asm as PREFIX/bin/ttf2pt1_t1asm (probably a hard or symbolic link into PREFIX/lib). But I'm absolutely certain that it must not overwrite t1asm from t1utils. Also ttf2pfa should not be installed (and generally not used at all) because it's just a historic relic. -SB To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-ports" in the body of the message
