I want to use Ghostscript for a slide projector under VMS and Ultrix.
Since both systems have DPS installed there are type 1 fonts already on
the system. Having read the licence very carefully, I think I am allowed
to use them for this purpose, but when I tried this with the
Avant-Garde-Book font it did not work. On VMS the curves of
the lower case letters have horizontal discontinuities, and with
Ghostscript compiled on AIX, the font does not load, giving an error message.
I would post the font, but I am not sure it is allowed. Is this problem
known? Is it a bug in the font or in Ghostscript. Is the problem being
ignored because it isnt a legal use of the fonts? I have gs 2.5.2.

Thanks in advance.
