Dear netters,

    I am new to PostScript and know very few things about PostScript.

    Recently I used MACDRAW in MAC II to draw a figure and then transfered the
figure to our unix machine(MIPS) and used 'bbfig' program to find the bounding
box of that figure. We have 'DEC LPS20' and 'Apple Laser Writer' printers for
printing PostScript files. I met couple of questions.

Question #1, the coordinates of bounding box in Apple Laser Writer seemed all
             right. But the coordinates of bounding box in LPS20 are not so
             correct. The 'bblly' and 'bbury' exchanged, i.e., the correct 
             bounding box should be "bbllx bblly bburx bbury" but the LPS20 
             printed "bbllx bbury bburx bblly".
                            ^^^^^       ^^^^^

Question #2, If I used the default font 'GENEVA' and put some characters in
             the figure, then the 'bbfig' program did not work in either
             LPS20 or Apple Laser Writer.

    Can anybody over there generously tell me why and how I can fix those
problems. Thanks a lot inadvance.
