I'm new to PostScript and have an IBM PC (compatible) and a AST TurboLaser/PS (PostScript ver 47). I produce a newsletter which uses fonts not in the standard 35 (actually Garamond and Helvetica Condensed/Black). Having purchased the fonts from Adobe I discovered that I seem to have to use thier arcane downloading program that only works on the serial line (the AST has a Parallel). Is there a way of writing a Portscript program to wrap the fonts in and download them to the printer. This could then be wrapped up in a batch file so that I don't have to worry about it first thing every morning. Any help would be gratefully received. Regards Alan Jay PS Could you send me E:mail as I only occasionly get a chance to read the news. -- Automatic Disclaimer: The views expressed above are those of the author alone and may not represent the views of the IBM PC User Group. -- Alan Jay @ The IBM PC User Group, PO Box 360, Harrow HA1 4LQ ENGLAND Phone: +44 -1- 863 1191 Email: alanj@ibmpcug.CO.UK Path: ...!ukc!pyrltd!slxsys!ibmpcug!alanj Fax: +44 -1- 863 6095 Disclaimer: All statements made in good faith for information only. -
