Fontforge for the Type1 conversion and texfont for tfm creation would be my choices. Cheers, Taco

ok 1)download and compile latest fontforge+dos 2)put in script.pe Open($1) Generate($1:r + ".pfb") 3)put in script.sh #!/bin/sh for j in ../*.otf; do echo $j k=`basename $j` cp $j . /opt/fontforge/fontforge-20070312/fontforge/fontforge --script script.pe $k rm -vf $k done 3) mkdir font-otf 4) mkdir font-otf/pfb 5) unpack otf files in font-otf 6) cp script.se script.sh font-otf/pfb 7) cd font-otf/pfb 8) chmod 700 script.sh && script.sh really simple :) luigi
