Can someone shed some light on the following:

	- The `red' book defines FontBBox as an array type (of 4 elements).

	- On the Apple LaserWriter and the Apple LaserWriter-II/NTX 
	  FontBBox pushes four values on the stack (not in an array).

	- Under NeWS V1.1 FontBBox pushes an array of 4 elements on the
	  stack.

Which of the above is the correct behavior of FontBBox??

	If it matters we tested the behavior of FontBBox using the
following program (in interactive mode):

	/Times-Roman findfont 10 scalefont  % font dict on top of stack
	/FontBBox get ==
