From: Christopher BJ Smith <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> >Is the screen display controlled by JazzCord.bmap?
from what i understand, screen display is controlled by afm files. i could have misunderstood though. without the afm files [i'm on mac] i can't see the PS fonts at all on screen. the following info appears at the top of the jazzcord.afm [not that posting this info necessarily clarifies anything, but here it is anyways]: --- StartFontMetrics 2.0 Comment Generated by Fontographer 4.1.5 7/9/02 at 19:02 FontName JazzCord FullName JazzCord FamilyName JazzCord Weight Medium Notice (Copyright \(c\) 1995 Sigler Music Fonts) ItalicAngle 0 IsFixedPitch false UnderlinePosition -133 UnderlineThickness 20 Version 001.000 EncodingScheme AppleStandard FontBBox -123 -414 2287 1934 CapHeight 825 XHeight 428 Descender 0 Ascender 427 StartCharMetrics 226 [...extensive data for character metrics omitted...] EndCharMetrics StartKernData StartKernPairs 0 EndKernPairs EndKernData EndFontMetrics --- but then pierre posted the following, >"[...] A Post-Script font does not appear on screen and will only print to PostScript >printers, where it provides superior printed output. TrueType fonts allow you to >print to non-postscript printers as well as resize smoothly in both printout and on >screen [...] ." so i don't know what to think now. if you install the afm file - but not the TT -, does the problem disappear, and the font appear? does anyone know if printing to a PS printer will automatically use the PS file without exception when both TT and PS are installed? darcy said: >If the newly created EPS's display properly, than hopefully the loss of WYSIWYG in >the old files is not too much of an inconvenience... if it doesn't work, it is too much of an inconvenience and has to be resolved 8^) jef -- shirling & neueweise \................/ new music notation specialists mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] :.../ http://newmusicnotation.com ++ _______________________________________________ Finale mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.shsu.edu/mailman/listinfo/finale
