[comp.text.desktop] Problems transferring from Harvard Graphics to Ventura

greg@mobius.Viewlogic.COM (Gregory Larkin) (10/31/90)

Hi All,

I am trying to transfer the builtin symbols of Harvard Graphics 
(V2.3) to Ventura Publisher (V1.1).  Harvard can export a variety of
formats that Ventura can (supposedly) read in.

I exported CGM format and read it into Ventura successfully.  However,
Ventura filled in the symbol with black.  Could this be a bad color
translation?

I then exported Encapsulated Postscript.  Ventura would not read it
in, complaining that the file type was incorrect.  I checked the file
and it looked OK, though I'm no Postscript expert.

I also had problems with importing HPGL format, again the symbol was
filled in with black by Ventura.

I am a novice user with both packages (especially Ventura), and the
manual wasn't much help for either package.

Does anyone have any idea how this transfer can be done reliably?

Any help would be greatly appreciated, but please email your
responses to "greg@viewlogic.com".

Thanks very much,
