That's correct - those are the fonts. They are used by Super ATM
(internally) to emulate fonts referenced in a document which the 
user does not have on their system. These fonts cannot be installed 
in the user's system for general use.

I wrote a program to adjust all the many problems with fonts converted 
from WFN fonts. It works on decrypted .pfb files (using another PD 
package). It changes the UniqueID, renames some wrongly-named characters 
and generates some missing characters from outlines of similar ones.
Then it compresses the font program by finding out common subpaths and 
placing them into subroutines. (This is a good idea for many other PD 
fonts as well, they get reduced in size by ca. 20% without loss of 
information.)
I hope to find some time in January (maybe February) to put the code 
together into a form suitable for posting it here.
My posting will also contain .pfm file generation from .afm files. 
CorelDraw's generated .pfm files are so buggy that they should best be 
thrown away immediately.

If a "UNICODE font" is a font that has only the nominal forms of the
Unicode character set, then this would be true.  However, as has been
pointed out already, it is a grave misuse of the term Unicode, since
the glyph space required for displaying Unicode data may well be larger
than 2^24 or more, having perhaps many 10^6 ligatures in it.  For example,
displaying a medium complexity Arabic script like Ruq`ah might require
3-5 million ligatures if one were to precompose all ligatures in the
font.  [Practically speaking, the display of Ruq`ah and Nastaliq would
use glyph busiting - a process of decomposing glyphs into smaller graphical
components.  This technology is already used by DynaLab in Taiwan to
achieve an 8-10 times reduction in memory requirements for large Han
fonts.]

Glenn Adams
Cambridge, Mass.

P.S.  Unicode 1.1 will have ff, fi, and ffi ligatures due to the ISO10646
merger.  However, I would recommend against using them except for backward
compatibility with simple text rendering technology.

Using Subrs for common subshapes is a great idea, with one major problem:
hinting.  The rmoveto's, rlineto's and rcurveto's are all relative, and so
can be easily used to generate the same shape in different positions.
But hints are all absolute (with respect to the left side bearing point).
So the shared code better not contain any hints.  But then, if it was made
by WFNBoss it doesn't contain any hints anyway. And if it was made by Font*
(wild-card expansion required here), then the `hints' are all at the
beginning of the CharString and there is no problem either.  But please
don't destroy a good commercial quality font that uses hint replacement, 
for example, by applying this method for extracting common subshapes...

I am in search of a (windows/DOS) utility that will allow one to print 
"proof" pages of TRUE_TYPE fonts.  In other words, for a given font, it 
will display in tabular form: 1) the ordinal value of each character 
(integers 0..255 or some subset (32..255?); 2) the ascii value of the 
character (A-Z, a-z, 0-9, etc); and 3) the equivalent characters from 
the font being "proofed"

For example, a given symbol font might contain, among other things, a 
recycling symbol at position 65, so a portion of the proof page might
look something like this:

	...
	...
	65	A	(the recycling symbol)
	66	B	(the other recycling symbol)
	67	C	(some other equally exciting symbol)
	68	D	(you get the idea ...)
	...
	...

I have heard that a package called Printer's Apprentice can do this, and
that it is public domain or shareware.  Does anybody know whether this is
true, and if so, where might I download it from?  (Archie doesn't
seem to know about it...).  OR, is anyone aware of a similar package?

This font only includes only glyphs for Latin and related scripts (Greek,
Russian) and Hebrew, to my knowledge. I think it is a bit misleading to call
it a UNICODE font when it does not have the glyphs for most of the scripts in
UNICODE. -- various Indic scripts, han, etc. I think it is impossible to speak
of a UNICODE font for several reasons.

-- unicode does not encode a font, but characters (at least it aims to this)

-- you can't have a font that contains glyphs for all unicode characters in a
consistent and typographical compatible way, I think, the various scripts
differ to much for that. I think one of the features of a font is that the
characters in it are related to each other.

But I think you will have fonts for Greek, Arabic, Sinhala (Although it is not
yet in UNICODE), chinese, and so on, and text-processors/typesetters that can
use them and UNICODE.
