It works, thanks. This was my original plan, with steps 2 and 3  
interverted. But it could not work, since Adobe Illustrator wants to  
see the whole font before displaying the text and converting it to  
outline.

I will now try to understand the more complicated information about  
fonts by Peter Dyballa and William Adams.

Thanks again.
