Generating Type 1 in Fontlab

Alexandre Bélanger

Hi,

it’s my first post here and I’m sure that every body here will help me.

Here’s the problem:

I’ve created a symbol font for a contract (it’s a programmation). The purpose of it his to ad scribbles in the text in an efficient way. But, even after thousands of tries, FontLab refuse obstinately to generate a type 1 font with bitmap preview, wich is exactly what I need to use in Quark (There’s still people in the studio who do not know InDesign). The only way I can get out of that is by putting a bitmap size of 36, wich is not helpful.

I join some screenshots to let you see the details and the result.

The document will be printed next week, so I began to freak out a bit.

If any one can help me, it will be very appreciated…
