Any suggestions about this? Thanks! Thomas I don't recommend converting to type 1. Better to just use ttf2tex with its expert switch. That'll get you access to all the standard expert glyphs, though you'd need to write the typescripts. It'd be nice to see someone extend ttf2tex to do this too though (it already creates all the files for LaTeX). Bruce
