Here are a few bugs that I've encountered within the last few days. I'd be interested in hearing whether they are known bugs and whether there are plans to fix them in an upcoming release. 1) If there are small numbers in the matrix argument to concat, a typecheck error results. Example: [1 1e-5 1e-5 1 0 0] concat (Our local NeWS GuRU looked at the source, and traced this problem down to a missing break in a case statement in the C routine which implements concat.) 2) The translation component of the matrix argument to makefont seems to be ignored. This following code fragment will produce different results under NeWS than on the LaserWriter: 0 setgray 10 10 moveto /Times-Roman findfont 30 scalefont setfont (Hello World) show /Times-Roman findfont [30.0 0.0 0.0 30.0 100.0 100.0] makefont setfont (Hi Mom) show showpage I expect that this last problem has been widely encountered. Is it documented by Sun? David Kurlander Columbia University djk@columbia.edu
