Just revised, expanded, and improved our PostScript font name finder. To use, simply send a copy of http://www.tinaja.com/psutils/psfontnamesnooper1.psl to Acrobat's Distiller. And it will attempt to find the exact PostScript font names and appearances of many ( and possibly most ) of the fonts you currently have available. A sample of somebody elses' results can be found at http://www.tinaja.com/psutils/psfontnamesnooper1.pdf The master font name search directory can be found at http://www.tinaja.com/psFontnames.psl At present, there are nearly 4000 entries in this candidate directory. Your help in expanding the directory is urgently needed. The algorithm works by simply trying to use every known directory based PostScript font name and seeing which do or do not get substituted. Amazingly, the processing time is just over ten seconds. Sorry, but this code is presently intended for Acrobat Distiller only. GhostScript substitutes its fonts in a different and presently incompatible manner. Your help in solving GhostScript compatibility is needed. -- Many thanks, Don Lancaster voice phone: (928)428-4073 Synergetics 3860 West First Street Box 809 Thatcher, AZ 85552 rss: http://www.tinaja.com/whtnu.xml email: don@tinaja.com Please visit my GURU's LAIR web site at http://www.tinaja.com
