I’ve never heard of a .pfm but if you want to email them to me I’ll see if they work on a Mac. If they do we can go from there.
Unless somebody has a more elegant solution.

No good. You haven’t got it all.
It is an Adobe postscript font and all you have got is the printer font metrics file – the bit I normally throw away. Which is why it is only 8k instead of something like the 120k I would have expected. Assuming you can’t get it as a Truetype you will need both parts, the screen and printer font.

Yeah well, you might have to wait a minute or two. I can’t do it from my laptop and will have to pop back into the office.
Be back as soon as I can, but don’t look for an early night!! 😀

My pleasure.
Actually, I like it a lot. Nice letter shapes and the lower case characters are a respectable size compared to the caps. Slightly rounded corners so that it will cut quickly and neatly on a drag blade machine as well as weeding easier than square corners. I might well buy a copy.

http://www.linotype.com/96889/demos-family.htmlI try to make a habit using the more obscure fonts for my everyday jobs. If somebody wants to steal my customers I like to make them work for it!
