Have a look at the section on the euro symbol in Philipp Lehman's 'The Font Installation Guide'. It tells you how to change just one letter of a font. You may also have to adjust the pair kerns for v. You will also need to change the height and slope of the v if you want it to match Times. Again, Philipp Lehmann's guide tells you how. The one thing you can't easily change is the weight. New Century Schoolbook is heavier than Times and this will show almost regardless of what you do. The only thing I can think of the might help is using Fontforge to edit a copy of Times italic and editing the shape of the v to match New Century Schoolbook. It might be easier to live with the shape of the v. Or, since Times is not a good book font, to try something better. Palatino or Minion Pro are fairly easily available. -- JDL _______________________________________________ fontinst mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://tug.org/mailman/listinfo/fontinst
