I'm trying to write a postscript program to dump character width tables
and print them on the printer. The following code segment works except
I can't seem to print the numeric width:
/prtchar
{ char 0
3 -1 roll put char dup == - puts char to standard out
dup show - puts char to page
stringwidth pop 300 mul 72 div - calculate width
round cvi dup == - round and put to stdout
dup cvs show - now how do I display width
} def to page???? Doesn't work!
Any insight to how I would print a number on the top of the stack to
the graphic page would be very helpfull....
Thanks... dan
