Ok, turns out, I need to do both hinting and kerning (the letter spacing was off too). So, some searching found that I need to use plug-in-freetype, which takes care of all of this, and produces *perfect* text for me, at least in interactive mode.
I seem unable to specify the font_file correctly to be able to call it in non-interactive mode though. The font file name is actually "wmb_____.pfm". I've tried that, with and without the full path ("c:\Windows\fonts\wmb_____.pfm"), and I've tried the font name by itself ("Myriad Bold"). I am able to select the font correctly in interactive mode. Any hints here? ---------------------- Mark R.
