Dear Fellow Users: How can I change the name of a font at the font-file level? I installed Ghostscript and GhostView (in Windows) and was finally able to use one of its fonts that looks like Times-Roman to export EPS graphics using a font that looks like Times-Roman (FWIW, the name of it is NimbusRomNo9L-Regu). I converted the font to type 1 and copied the font files into the directory Fonts\Type1. Then I ran MakePSres and the PSres.ups file was created with the new font's name. My problem now is that because I define the default font to be the new one, I run into two problems. (1) The Front End does not recognize the font as being like Roman. Therefore, the front end displays the graphics on the screen using Helvetica/Arial instead of Times. (2) When exporting graphics to EPS, I still get the wrong postscript font when Mathematica tries to use italics (for example if it displays a variable in traditional form). How can I make Mathematica think that the name of the new fonts is Times-Roman? I think that I need to do this at the font level so that when Mathematica switches from Times-Roman to Times-Italic, the font displayed in the exported graphic as well as on the screen is correct. I tried to change the names inside PSres.upr but that did not work. Any suggestions are warmly appreciated. Thanks, Nicholas Georgakopoulos Please copy replies to nlg64 at mindspring dot com
