Re: Can TrueType Fonts be converted to GS.Fonts?
"IBM TT fonts can be converted to Apple IIgs TT fonts (without the Mac step of
conversion) using the 'Font Pimp' - 'freeware-thank you-ware' Apple IIgs GS/OS
desktop program. In order to use those converted
Apple IIgs TT font you will need to have the Pointless program ..."
Bev,
Maybe I'm way off, but I thought that TrueType Fonts were fonts that could
mathematically scale themselves to the point size wanted. If TO.SuperFonts
could use these, say on my Apple //e, then there would no longer be a need to
have more than one size of any font type--but TO.SuperFonts goes looking for
these very size-limited fonts ("courier.12", not just "courier") not just to
print, but to improve print quality in the highest quality print mode.
TO.SuperFonts even can "create" a nonexistant font if the font size doesn't
exist, but one twice as large does; again, this is in the best quality mode
only.
Impresssive, but this doesn't sound like TrueType Fonts would work with
TO.SuperFonts on a //e.
