Overview

Those who want to print a PostScript file using the printer fonts may want to have all the printer fonts appear in a PostScript font selection menu of an application. defoma-psfont-installer helps registering printer fonts. It can parse PPD -- PostScript Printer Description -- file and retrieve available printer font names from the file, then presumes the hints according to each of the font name, and creates a hintfile and register them. It is strongly recommended to prepare a PPD file.
