The current release of AutoCAD generates PostScript.  The chief problem
with it is that AutoCAD treats the PostScript device like a plotter.
Therefore instead of using even the built-in PostScript fonts AutoCAD
generates primitive stick fonts.  This is both inefficient and ugly.
Our production department had to resort to manually pasting text over
the callouts in AutoCAD drawings before going to print.

Fortunately, we found an AutoCAD add-on product from Preco Industries
called AutoScript.

The original version of AutoScript was written in AutoLisp and it is
*slow*, much like AutoCAD itself.  It generates PostScript that uses
the built-in fonts and also downloadable fonts.  Recently, they have
rewritten AutoScript in C and it should be much faster.  When I was
looking at AutoScript, the C version was only available for MS-DOS.
They may have since ported it to SunOS.
