Hi, can anyone help me with a simple question? I'm trying to download an Adobe type 1 font (I'm testing with Garamond Light) to a LaserWriter II NTX. Having got the font program itself from a Mac using SendPS, by 'printing' a dummy Postscript file with "%%IncludeFont: GaramLig" and sending the output to a file, I can transfer this file to a UNIX system, convert CR's to NL's and trim the top and tail off. I am then left with a file which begins with %%BeginFont and ends with %%EndFont. I want to be able to use this font, both on a per-job basis (I'll handle %%IncludeFont myself) and 'permanently' using an exitserver job. When I try a permanent download with: %! serverdict begin 0 exitserver %%BeginFont .. %%EndFont I get a 'syntaxerror' with offending command '--nostringval--' somewhere near the beginning of the exec code. The stack is: false -mark- true -savelevel- -mark- /OtherSubrs -dictionary- /Private -dictionary- -dictionary- courtesy of Adobe's ehandler.ps. With an 'embedded' download I get similar problems. Can anyone help me? Software is Adobe Transcript 2.1 by the way.
