Embedding fonts within a postscript file

[Eric_...@adobeforums.com]

Hi all, I want to know the best way to embed specific fonts within a postscript file. More specifically, I have several postscript procedures that will draw shapes, graphs, and make labels based on the user's input. Right now the font is hard-coded, and it works on my machine, but I want to actually embed some other fonts within the postscript so that no matter where the program is running, the fonts will work when the user prints the file.

Thanks!

Ghostscript has a utility called pfb2gs that will convert a .pfb file
to a .gs which is a text file that can be just put into a postscript
file to define a font.
