having looked at one of those .t1 files now, i see that it is indeed a new file format.
the plrm notes that eexec can handle either hex or binary data transparently, and that is the only difference from traditional pfa i can see. so they saved some disk size and some memory pressure compared to pfa. it should be possible these days to embed those files as is into a postscript file, given that transmission is likely to be over ip or usb. (unlike, say, rs232 with xon/xoff.) software which expects pfa or pfb should learn to hadle these, too. freetype has no problem with them. -JimC -- James Cloos <cl...@jhcloos.com> OpenPGP: 0x997A9F17ED7DAEA6
