Really Big Fonts:Solved

[Joel Hammer]

Just to let folks know a bit more about postscript fonts and convert.

As best as I can tell, postscript fonts hang in out in a variety of
places, including /usr/share/enscript as afm files. There may be a
separate afm directory.

cat *afm | grep FontName will show you what you have got.
convert will find the font with with the following following
command:
convert -font   Palatino-Italic -pointsize 70 etc. etc.

It does not always work with every font, and I still don't know how
convert finds these fonts. Must be some magic with the x server. But,
xlsfonts doesn't seem to show postscript fonts.

BTW, this  method can be generalized, like so:
for i in `locate afm`; do echo $i;grep FontName $i ;done > psfonts
So, in theory, you could find the name of every postscript font on your
box.
