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)).
