Most versions of dvi2ps have this (and other) PostScript bugs. The problem is that the font is being `defined'---and then data is being `put' into the font dictionary. It's a no-no, but most Adobe interpreters will accept it. UltraScript (and many others) will not. Solution: use dvips. Other solution: look at the dvips prolog and your dvi2ps prolog, and make the appropriate changes. -tom
