I have three PostScript programs that prints examples of each font in the
font dictionary. On our old LaserWriter all I get is this message back:

%%[ Error: undefined; OffendingCommand: PXLBuildCharDict ]%% 
%%[ Flushing: rest of job (to end-of-file) will be ignored ]%%

NONE of these PS programs mentions PXLBuildCharDict, so apparently some
internal ROM routine does invoke it. Sound like a bug?

(version is 23.0)

Postscript Drawing Programs?

Is anyone aware of a drawing program that will run on a Sun (under X) and produces
postscript files?  I am getting tired of running CricketDraw on a Mac and copying its
output over to my Sun.  Besides, it seems pretty silly to have a $1500 computer do
more than a similar one costing ten times as much.

Thanks,
/Jim

I found one that runs under Suntools called 'Graphedit' (posted to rn
a while back)  You probably could get it from a
comp.sources.games/unix archive site.   It produces Postscript output
and various other formats.
                                                                    -E
