AFM files

    Hello Michael :)

    I don't like the symbol, but I need it :(( Anyway I think that a
simple 'E' would have done the job, instead of creating a new glyph.
Rounding has been a nightmare enough to add the glyph problem too.

    Hey, thanks, I'll try.

    Thanks for this too :)). I'll abuse and make a last question:
once I have the AFM file from the TT font, how do I make Lout and my
printer to use this new font?. Lout only needs the AFM file, but how
abount the printer?

    Thanks a lot, Michael :)
