There are problems, though, and I'm hoping that somebody on this list has some answers. I've created *.afm and *.pfa files for a few typefaces that I'm added to enscript. And these print via my DeskJet as expected. But some of the characters are missing. The apostrophe|singlequote, ASCII 047, doesn't print or is replaced with a garbage character. I expected these font files to be ASCII-compliant; evidently they are MS-Word-compliant. Does anybody know what byte-sequence needs to be output to print, say, a singlequote? thanks, gary kline PS: Please copy me with any feedback. -- Gary D.
