[comp.sys.apollo] GMR2D and Postscript

FERGUSON@BKNLVMS.BITNET (09/26/88)

I've been experimenting with GMR2D and Postscript output, and haven't been
able to get any text commands when I use GM_$PRINT_FILE. Reading the
Postscript file, only moveto's and lineto's exist. I know the
macros.ps file contains macros for anchor text, but where's the
text from my display?

Is text implemented in GMR2D Postscript? If not, or if there's something
I have to do extra, how come it's not documented?

Thanks in advance,

We have found that text in GMR output file (the OUT1 option
of GM_$PRINT_FILE in our case) is quite buggy. If you are
using instances of segments, you may not get any text, or
it may have the wrong translation and/or rotation. It all
depends on which rev. of AEGIS you have. The bugs vary
according to the version, but (up to SR9.7) they don't go
away.
