I'm new to the Postscript/NeWS world, just running in a terminal emulator, following the BLUE BOOK and interactively trying things out. I have a simple question that one of you NeWS hackers can probably answer for me. The path construction operator, `charpath', doesn't seem to work. Instead of getting character outlines, I get the string's bounding box. Anybody shed some light on this?
