 `     I recently built slitex on a Sun 3(4.0), and found that although
 `the invisible fonts (pxl format) preview just fine (the spacing is
 `correct for color slides and overlays), the dvi2ps output is very
 `skewed, as if invisible gf fonts are being translated to postscript
 `with widths just slightly greater than 0. The dvi2ps we are using is
 `Ld-dvi2ps version 2.3. 

Some dvi2ps's have problems with invisible fonts. It might be solved by
patching the definition of @dc in the postscript prolog file. Here is
something you could try if your prolog code looks similar:

------------------------------------------------------------------------
/@dc            % char-data ch @dc -    -- define a new character bitmap in current font
  { /ch-code exch def
% ++oystr 12-Feb-86++
    dup 0 get
    length 2 lt
      % From: Mario Wolczko <mcvax!r5.cs.man.ac.uk!mario>
      % replace <> with null
      {dup 4 get exch 5 get <00> 1 1 0 6 -2 roll 6 array astore}
    if
% --oystr 12-Feb-86--
    /ch-data exch def
    currentfont /BitMaps get ch-code ch-data put
    currentfont /Encoding get ch-code
       dup (   ) cvs cvn   % generate a unique name simply from the character code
       put
  } def
