I have some postscript fonts that I brought over from the mac (they are type
fonts and are, therefore, not encrypted). They had accompanying screen fonts
which I also converted from the mac to the amiga. I tried printing using the
screen fonts in pro. page 1.3, and when I printed out the postscript file and
ran it through the public domain post 1.0 postscript interpreter, the fonts
would do strange things like: two words separated by spaces, the second word
would backspace over and print over the last one or two characters of the
first word. So, in essence, you would have two words, the second of the two
printed over the last part of the first. Now, these fonts print just fine
when just using the good ole "show" command when using post 1.0
interactively, but since pro page uses an entired different method for
printing fonts through postscript (instead of a "num scalefont setfont x y
moveto (string) show" command string). Can anyone help me in figuring out
what the problem might be??? Could it be that the metrics of the postscript
file are completely different from those of the matching screen files??? I
used the ppage_any_font command to create .metric files for each of the
screen fonts. Any help on this would be much appreciated!
