Hello, sorry for my English, but I did not find a German-speaking Newsgroup regarding Postscript. Maybe a tip for that? I have an EPS-file created in Indesign. In this EPS-file "A" is a second EPS-file "B" from a customer. If I send the EPS-file "A" to different interpreters, one interpretes it correct, the other one does not. If I send the EPS-file "B" alone to any interpreter it always works right. The error is, that all fonts, embedded in then EPS-file "B" are kursiv distorted (no postscript-error appears). Since I started to learn postscript, I experimented a lot and figured out: In the Indesign-code there are some procedures: %%+ procset Adobe_AGM_PgMarks (1.0 0) %%+ procset Adobe_AGM_Image (1.0 0) %%+ procset Adobe_CoolType_Utility_MAKEOCF (1.14 0) %%+ procset Adobe_CoolType_Core (2.18 0) %%+ procset Adobe_AGM_Core (2.0 0) %%+ procset Adobe_AGM_Utils (1.0 0) %%+ procset Altsys_header (4.0 0) Maybe this has to do something with the error. I found this part in the EPS "B"-Code: 100 160 moveto /|______Interstate-Regular findfont [8 0 0 -8 0 0] makefont setfont (Hallo) show If I delete the "|______" in front of the font-name the font appears correctly. What is the sence of "|______"? Why is it added to the font-name? It seems, as if there are two fonts defined: |______Interstate-Regular and Interstate-Regular, one kursiv (335,5 �) one not. But Distiller interpretes the EPS-file "B" correct and some other interpreters do not. Anybody an idea about that? Does anybody know a good Postscriptlanguage-book? Or a good description in the Internet? In German ;-) Regards, Franz
