Just messing with fonts and of course it is confusing me. You can skip most of this veriage and go right to the last paragraph for my question.
But, I have finally figured out how to make enscript use all those ghostscript fonts. They are really quite nice. To see all the fonts your gs will let you use, start gs, then: loadallfonts All those fonts are available to enrich your documents. However, I tried the gs method of seeing those fonts, but, it just didn't work for me, so, to capture all those names, try: gs > GhostScriptFonts loadallfonts wait a while, then: quit You have all those fonts available to you, and enscript will use them if you ask. One way to get to see all these fonts is to edit the GhostScriptFonts file from the above step and leave just the font names in them. eg: Baltar Borg9 CharlesinCharge CrystalRadioKit Droid Make sure there are no trailing blanks. Have a text file you want to convert to postscript (junk.txt in the example below.) Then, this one line script works: while read i; do i="$i"12; cp -a junk.txt $i.txt ;enscript -o $i.ps -f $i $i.txt; rm $i.txt;done < GhostScriptFonts Fun,huh? NOW, my question: Many of these fonts, when called by enscript, give a: NO AFM file found, using default. What the heck does this mean, and should I care?
