iceangel89 Posted August 21, 2007 Share Posted August 21, 2007 (edited) standard fonts like ttf, otf are easy to install but whats pfb & pfm? i need to put both files into the Windows Fonts directory to install? its easy to copy just everything but i'll like to make sure i know what are these, and not clog up my system. some scripts, .bat files are definitely not needed right? i am guessing they help to install the fonts?btw, when i just copy the pfm & pfb files, windows says they are damaged/invalid and at http://www.buyfonts.com/installatm.htm it says there is a afm file, am i missing something? oh now it works i need to do a "Install New Font" in Fonts directory Edited August 21, 2007 by iceangel89 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

iceangel89 Posted April 19, 2009 Author Share Posted April 19, 2009 if a font only has pfm its useless right? and i am trying out some font manager. in Font Expert 2009, i see alot of font that said its missing pfb... in Font Agent 4 i dont see those fonts at all... probably they are detected as incomplete/corrupt.... so its save to say that if i have only a pfm of a font its useless, so i can delete?whats a good font manager btw?i am thinking if there was a feature to import all "working" fonts into 1 folder then manage fonts from that foler will be better? font agent can detect corrupt fonts but not import fonts so non working fonts are still mixed ...
