[comp.text.desktop] Impress and PostScript - Happy together?

danny@idacom.UUCP (Danny Wilson) (04/24/89)

We currently have quite a sizable documentation effort using
Context Corp's documentation managment system - DOC.

It is an extremely powerful system for producing and managing
high quality publications in great volume. For the back end,
we are printing to an Imagen printer using the Impress page
description language.

The problem is this: Although I have no problems with Imagen 
printers, we want to increase our throughput capacity are now
faced with Imagen's high prices for a new printer. I would 
*like* to run a dual back-end off of the system and run 
postscript as well (postscript printers are sooooo much cheaper).

However, DOC together with Impress allows the definition of
custom fonts - something we have exploited fully within our
documentation.

Question: Does anyone know if postscript can support this 
same functionality?
