I wasn't ware of proc fontreg, looked it up from v9 online doc (obviously,
this is new stuff from v9), but I have hard time understand what the
font directory means.

Why do I have a feeling that we don't need to register, since all the
truetype font are already recognized by ods/rtf? Maybe we still need
to run proc gdevice to modify the font list so that SASEMF driver can
recognize the truetype font? If it is very easy to do, why don't SAS provide
them by default?

Do you have a complete sample shows how to register and then modify
the SASEMF driver?

Thanks
