I'm trying to install a postscript font. [...] However, I can't make it work at all. I have several copies of the font in different formats:
GnuMICR.afm GnuMICR.pfa GnuMICR.pfm GnuMICR.ttf GnuMICR.otf GnuMICR.pfb GnuMICR.raw
A Type1 font consists of a .afm file, and a .pfa or .pfb file. (In Windows a Type1 or postscript font consists of .pfm and .pfa/.pfb.) A .otf ("Open Type Font") is a comparatively new format, I have not seen support for it in Linux yet. IMO, it would be best to shove both the .afm and the .pfa or .pfb into /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/Type1 (to install system wide) or into ~/.fonts (to install for one user) and run, as root, SuSEconfig -module fonts This way of installing fonts was introduced in SuSE 8.2, I've never had any problem with it.
