Right? indeed, with the accompanying map files, i now generate something texnansi-adobe-myriad.map as well as a tex test file which also shows how to include them (using their internal names, which for some reason are always inconsistent: blabla-bold-italic vs blablabold-italic vs blabla-bolditalic vs blabla-bi or whatever). >Y&Y still have the tfm files for the full Adobe library on-line, which >is basically the same idea hans is going for.

The regimes can map onto it and internally we can then stick to pairs. We only need to create series of virtual files i suppose? I don;t know what the consequence for patterns is, but it would solves the mix ten languages that don't map onto one font instance problem Hans ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Hans Hagen | PRAGMA ADE | pragma@wxs.nl Ridderstraat 27 | 8061 GH Hasselt | The Netherlands tel: +31 (0)38 477 53 69 | fax: +31 (0)38 477 53 74 | www.pragma-ade.com -------------------------------------------------------------------------
