Simply convert your TTF to a PostScript Type 1 font (using TTF2PT1.EXE), then

Thanks a million. Actually, I have a Postscript font that, though it has
a different name, LOOKS exactly like the TT one in question. But I
simply haven't had time to revise POSTGHST.PRN to recognize it (you may
recall that I formed the intention of doing it last year, shortly after
you gave us TYP, and at that time you explained how to change fonts in
POSTGHST); things have been insane here, with the new XP box at the
office refusing to recognize the different paper-size settings on the
LaserJet, and then the LJ's fuser got fried. Surprisingly, though,
PageMaker 5.0 (it was still by Aldus then!), a Win 3.1 app, installed
properly under XP.
