[comp.sys.amiga] Problems with PPage fonts?

a46@mindlink.UUCP (Robin Ritchey) (10/11/90)

All,
        Called Gold Disk yesterday.  I had a problem with the new
fonts I purchased.  apparently the commands in ARP do not mesh right
with PPage.  PPage uses a file for rendering their fonts to the screen
and to the printer.  When this file is used it must call something
from the C:  directory, don't ask me what program it is, I do not
know.  But apparently Arp will rename the file.  Therefore when PPage
goes to use it it is not there.  Gold Disk says the only fix is to use
the normal commands that come with WB1.3.
        I also asked about the problem that PPage has with legal sized
paper.  Gold disk says that it is a problem with the printer driver
Commodore uses.  They say that there are a few people out here that
might be able to help me.  I am using a HP LaserJet IIP.  Is there
anyone out there that has a printer driver for this printer that has
fixed the problem with using legal sized paper?
        Could some kind person email me the driver, please?

Hmmm ... I am using ProPage V1.3 and ARP. I haven't had any problems.
What specifically are the symptoms of your problem?

Re: ARP & PPage

The only problem I had with bARP & PPage was during the
installation process; I ended up printing the file and typing it in
line by line. Then I saw someone suggest ASSIGNing C: to the first PPage
disk. Oh, well...
