Hi Dilwyn,
Thanks for this.  I've downloaded it and someone has also sent me a zip file of 
their Fontutils master disc too.
Kind regards
Simon

While I don't have the Prowess version of the fontutils package, I do have 
the older pfb2pff which needed Proforma system. This contains the font 
conversion and viewing. It's available at 
http://www.dilwyn.me.uk/prowess/index.html (in the Other Applications 
section)

Hi,

I'm thinking of re-instating all of my ProWess software.  As far as I know
it's freeware now but I can't find a copy of the fount utility Fontutils
anywhere.  It's mentioned on the Progs website but there is no download
for it and I can't find it on the QL is 30 DVD-ROM.  Anybody got any ideas
please?

[Wolfgang Lenerz]

Hi,

chances are you already have it. Fontutils is not a program but a package.


--

Extract of the manual:


This package consists of several utility programs which should help you
to maintain your collection of fonts. There is a program to create new
fonts, based on font in the Adobe Type I font format (pfb or pfa) or in
the GhostScript format (gsf). This will immediately add the kerning
information if it was available. There are also programs to print all
the letters in a font, or to get a short preview of a font on screen, so
that you can select a font more easily.

---

The progs of the package are:

pfb2pff: convert fonts to the PROforma fontformat.
FontPreview : quickly preview a font, to jog your mind when you have to
select one.
FontShow: display all the characters in one or more fonts. This can be
displayed on screen, or it can be printed.
