Category: x11news Subcategory: libcps Bug/Rfe: bug Synopsis: font names are sent as strings by ps_findfont and ps_fontdef Severity: 5 Priority: 4 Description: The routines ps_findfont and ps_fontdef send the names of the fonts as postscript strings instead of postscript objects. Work around: Use pprintf to find and define fonts. Suggested fix: Edit the file psmacros.cps in $OPENWINHOME/share/src/xnews/lib/NeWS diff psmacros.cps_old psmacros.cps 62c62 < cdef ps_findfont(string f) f findfont --- > cdef ps_findfont(postscript f) f findfont 84c84 < cdef ps_DO_finddef(string font,usertoken) font findfont --- > cdef ps_DO_finddef(postscript font,usertoken) font findfont then do a make install (change XXINSDIRXX to $(OPENWINHOME)).
