Date: Sun 17-Feb-1989 16:52:22 From: Unknown Subject: bad font Lexi? The file Lexi.afm in /bootdisk/NeXT/Fonts/afm causes the following, standard, font display Postscript program to fail. When Lexi.afm is disguised, the following program will display all the available fonts, as it does on other Postscript printers. Note that I had to apply Terry Weissman's change (thanks, Terry) to FontDirectory, making it SharedFontDirectory. Of course, I also had to mount /bootdisk/NeXT read/write in order to disguise Lexi.afm. %! showfonts2.ps - show sample output in all possible fonts of a device 36 720 translate /name 80 string def SharedFontDirectory { pop dup dup /Helvetica findfont 10 scalefont setfont 0 0 moveto name cvs show findfont 10 scalefont setfont 160 0 moveto name cvs show 0 -13 translate } forall showpage >From: weissman@decwrl.dec.com
