In theory, you ought to be able to do this with true-type fonts:

Device, Set_Font='Brush Script MT Italic', /TT_Font
PS_Start, 'script.ps'
cgText, 0.5, 0.5, /Normal, Align=0.5, Font=1, $
'This is test script with handwriting font.'
PS_End, /PNG

But, I've read the documenation five times now, followed directions
EXACTLY as specified (modifing the ttfont.map file, etc.), and can't get
it to work.

This leads me to believe this functionality must be broken in IDL 8.2.2.

Cheers,

David
