Solaris: advice on type 1

Solaris uses Adobe software to rasterize the fonts. It wants additional information. To add a type 1 font you need to do the following: Put the .pfa file in /usr/openwin/lib/X11/fonts/Type1/. Put the .afm file in /usr/openwin/lib/X11/fonts/Type1/afm. Edit /usr/openwin/lib/X11/fonts/Type1/fonts.dir to add the new font. Copy fonts.dir to fonts.scale. Edit /usr/openwin/lib/X11/DPS13Fonts.upr to add the new font. DPS3Fonts.upr needs three entries: in the FontAFM section to point to the .afm file for each weight; in the FontFamily section to define a font family, which is a list of the normal, bold, italic, and bold-italic font names; in the FontOutline section for the .pfa file for each weight.
