Steven,

I am glad you responded. I have PFB, PFM and AFM files for my fonts.
What do I do now? Can I drag one of these files somewhere to install the
font? Must both PFB and AFM be in the same directory?

I am having problems with FontFolder in registering fonts to create
libraries. It hangs when I point it to a collection of fonts. Maybe I
must have only PFB and AFM files for it to see?
