No Eugene, I haven't gone down that path but will now explore.
Thank you

Merv,
have you tried to use the equation editor that comes with AppleWorks
and M$ Word. You would only need to create a few standard fractions
such as 1/2, 1/3 and 1/4 then simply cut and paste where ever
required. You even have the options of have fractions vertically,
diagonally or side by side. This will then export nicely as a PDF.

In the olden days there was a font called Boston that had the
common fractions of half, three quarters, two thirds etc.
Today I typed up some recipes for my wife with such measures and
used Boston. Because she wanted to send them by email with
format intact I went to Print and Saved at PDF. But I couldn't.
Obviously there was no conversion for the font. Converting half
to 0.5 etc is not an option, a third of cup does not convert
very well in metril or imperial.
Is there an OSX font with such measures and will Adobe recognise it?
Suggestions please.
Zapf Dingbats has them and they save as .pdf OK using that option
on the <print> command.

Peter, I've checked my version of Zapf Dingbats but couldn't find
fractions. Used standard key position, shift, option, and
shift-option. What version or key combination gives access to
fractions?
