The output produced by ListFonts (from sonata) produces some odd errors when
printing pages 4 or 5 (but not others):
(DPSCLE=DPS client library error, ...=date)

The postscript file is exceedingly simple, consisting mostly of

54 738 moveto
/Helvetica findfont 9 scalefont setfont
(2. AGaramond-BoldItalic) show
198 738 moveto
/AGaramond-BoldItalic findfont 14 scalefont setfont
(The Quick Brown Fox Jumps Over The Lazy Dog) show

in various forms. (The only item in the file I do not understand is a rectclip
command.) What's going on here?
