Re: [Freetype] How to print in EPS

[Vincent Croquette]

Thank you for your response, I understand that it is difficult to get the
same results on 
screen and on paper for all possible fonts, but I was wandering if it could
be done for
a small subset : postscipts support a few internal fonts (which should be
enough for me)
by definition I can print them, I was wondering if I could use freetype to
get them on the 
screen. Can I load these fonts with freetype ? and where can I find the corresponding
files ?
Thank You

Vincent
