You can encode a font from within the job. You just have to make sure the font resource is in with the rest of the job resources or in a directory that you have defined.

[/The font name you want here (Name of font.pfb) ] (encoding table to use) SETENCODING

Then you would just reference the font by the font name you designate. *This will only work with PostScript fonts*

Hope that helped!!

This also works with Bitmap fonts not just PostScript, I convert TrueType and OpenType to either of the following:

Xerox Font (*.fnt)
AFP Font (*.cf, *.cs)
LaserJet Font (*.fnh)
PostScript Font (*.fnp)
Xerox XES/DSBU Font (*.fnx)

The most common that I use are fnt and fnp. Although these can look awful if you increase the font size too far, but for normal 6-50 point, these look fine.
