Sorry, that should've been ``.vpl'' It also wasn't where I'd said it would be---it was on my old Portfolio page, http://members.aol.com/willadams/prtflio.htm Here're links to the two files: http://members.aol.com/willadams/tex/padr9alt.vp http://members.aol.com/willadams/tex/padi9alt.vp and here's the map file. You'll still need to process the (renamed) .afms w/ FontInst (but you've done that, right?) and you should check to see if my font versions match yours---probably best just to use the above as a template. The .vpl file format is documented in Dr. Knuth's ``Virtual Fonts: More fun for grand wizards'' file (which is re-published in his _Digital Typography_). Using Alan Hoenig's book will probably help a lot though---well worth buying, or get it from a library. Meanwhile, Jan had said: > Oh yes.

I would suggest that you purchase a ``sidegrade'' to the PC version, that way you know you'll get files which will work. Also, Philipp Lehman's font installation guide is very good, and I think has been updated to handle swash fonts, it's listed at http://members.aol.com/willadams/books-free-type.html William -- William Adams, publishing specialist voice - 717-731-6707 | Fax - 717-731-6708 www.atlis.com
