I've just learned that WordPerfect/Linux will not use TrueType fonts
because it has its own font rasterizer and won't use xfstt. The suggestion
was made that we get Type 1 font equivalents for the TT fonts we use in DOS
and windows. This leads me to two questions:
1) I've tried searching the 'Net for a table of equivalent typeface names,
but without success. Does anyone know where I could look up the TT typeface
name (e.g., Baker Signet) and find a Type 1 equivalent?
2) Where should I go to get Type 1 fonts?
TIA,
Rich
