RE: RE: Using fonts not in CoreFont list

It is a TTF font...  But we are working in UNIX.  I have the font file on my
Windows machine.  I don't think it will work to simply put the font file
from windows right into unix will it???  Or do I have to find a unix version
of that file?

Maybe, it depends on what type of font it is. If it is a TTF font, you can
use ttfont(). See `perldoc PDF::API2` and search for ttfont.

Other types:
ckjfont()
synfont()
bdfont()
unifont()

These are all documented in `perldoc PDF::API2`.
