I am looking for information on PostScript support for color images. I
have Adobe's PostScript Language Reference Manual and the Tutorial and
Cookbook, the editions from Feb/April 1990, but they only discuss the
b&w "image" operator. The "ppm" package includes a "ppmtops" routine
that uses an operator called "colorimage", but I have not been able to
find any references to it in the Adobe docs. I mean "images" as in
"scanned images" as described in the Adobe publications.
	I need to be able to print color images along with regular
ps onto paper or to a slide. We are running Unix on (mostly) suns.

	1. Information on a "colorimage" operator that does not require
		printing color as a set of separations. (I can live with
		bad color and fuzzy images)
	2. Information on the availiblity/cost of printing #1, both on
		slides and paper, either the cost/availibilty of
		color printers or from services.
	3. And, on an unrelated topic, information on converting X font
		descriptions in XLDF format to PS font names. (Not
		converting the font itself, just matching up existing
		fonts that look similiar). I have a hand coded table
		lookup program, but it is primitive.

	I apologize in advance if this topic has been discussed already
or answered in some sort of "frequently asked questions" posting. I have
been reading the group for about a week and did not see any discussion of
it. Needless to say, I am a PostScript neophyte.
	Please reply to "cstjohn@bcm.tmc.edu" _not_ "saint@rice.edu",
or post to the group if a reply is of general interest.
