Hi,
I'm reminded:
"
You already have such fonts. The newest fonts with Ovation Pro have all
these chars and many more. Just take a look in !FontEd (after locking
the font files to prevent overwriting):
4 weights Bookmark,
4 weights Curator,
4 weights Paladin,
4 weights SwissB,
4 weights Vogue,
1 weight Chaucer.Medium.Italic
Besides that there are 2 symbol fonts: DPDings and SymbolB
These fonts have also a 'Type1' file to make PoScript printing without
mapping possible.
These fonts have also a 'About' text and an AFM-extract text file,
giving
additional information.
The same fonts in TT format come also with Ovation Pro for Windows.
"
But as with all the comments above I am worried about the encoding -
lack of support in Ovation Pro etc.
The usual way this discussion ends is with me pointing out that one can
have a text file inside !Fonts which maps names (I can't recall the name
Fonts3?), and wondering if it allows one to map a font name + encoding
to another name?
Martin - I have put thought in to supporting encodings over the years,
never got around to it - I appreciate you taking the time to join the
discussion.
