Re: Screen vs. Print fonts

Viktor,

You can make your own Type 1 version of any TT font.

Take a look at FontLab:  http://www.fontlab.com

This program is a serious piece of work.  It is not cheap (but not expensive
either).  It has a learning curve, but the tech support has been good to us.

You can edit characters, change encodings, add/delete/replace characters,
adjust kerning, create new versions of fonts....  You name it.

The same company also has PC <-> MAC font converters.
