I have a postscript document which I want to print from my NeXT.

The problem is, font information is distributed with the file
as a postscript file created by the "fontloader" command on UNIX.

I get the wonderful error "undefined; Offending Command: serverdict"
when I try to use lpr < fontfile.ps to load the information into the
NeXT printer.

The man page only tells me "Use the normal NeXT font installation
procedures for NeXT 400 dpi printers." which is infinitely useless.
Any idea how to get the print looking reasonable from the NeXT?

Thanks, please mail answers to edc@evolution.bchs.uh.edu
