Generating a Multiple Master Type 1 Font
When you finish your work with a MM font you need to build a font file
that you can use on PostScript devices or printers.
To build a Multiple Master Type 1 font, choose the File > Generate
font command. When the standard Save As dialog box appears, select
Multiple Master format in the Save As type combo box:
Press the OK button to save the font in Multiple Master format.
Note 1: If you choose this format when exporting a single-master font a
generic Type 1 font will be built.
Note 2: PFB and MMM files will be saved if you make a MM Type 1 font.
These files are necessary to install MM fonts in Adobe Type Manager.
Select Multiple Master ASCII/Unix format to make a MM font in
downloadable format. Fonts in this format can be instantly downloaded to
a PostScript printer.
