My customer wants to transform Postscript jobs to AFP for printing              
on a 3900 DW1/DW2.  The Postscript jobs use Garamond and Minion                 
fonts.  Is there a way to add fonts to the transform library in                 
the PS2AFP transform.  Also what type of fonts does the transform               
program use--does it use ASCII fonts or only binary fonts and I                 
assume they all have to be in Adobe Type 1 format.

This is documented in the PSF for AIX Print Administration Guide                
(S544-3817-02) on pages 255-256.  I believe all your questions are              
answered there.  If you don't have access to the book, I can certainly          
fax the pages to you; just let me know.  If you still have questions            
after reading the section on "Using the Type I (Outline) Fonts" and             
"Generating Font-Mapping Files", please reopen.                                 
                                                                                
Thanks for using ViewBlue.
