Hi there, I have just installed 'troff' from the AT+T documentors workbench to get an apple laserwriter IINTX up as a high quality print device and have a problem with the 'me' and 'ms' macros. The situation is: troff on a VAX11-750 with 'tpscript' converting the output to postscript. (tpscript is a PD translator written at Uni of NSW and Uni of Queensland Australia). Laser printer is driven by an in-house written filter for 'lpd'. I keep getting errors from 'tpscript' saying that fonts are not loaded and thus certain print effects do not work properly. I do not know whether the problem lies in 'tpscript' or in 'troff', but suspect that modifying 'tpscript' may solve the problem. Has anybody out there had similar problems or any suggestions to make. Please reply to me direct since I do not receive info-unix and I will summarize later. Thanx in advance.
