Folks - Thanks to Jim Cornacchia (ultb!jmc3113@psuvax1.cs.psu.edu), I have the answer to the PostScript fonts downloading problem. The answer is very simple. Take the Font file in question: MyFont.ps or just MyFont ( as it is usually found in the .font dictionary), you will have to make one editing adjustment to it: Using vi, emacs, or Edit, open the file. The top will have a heading composed of of a couple lines with % marks at the beginning. At the end of the last %-marked line and before the first line of PostScript program, insert this line: serverdict begin 0 exitserver As Jim said, this will "cause the printer to exit the server loop and preserve the file." Then save this font under another name with a .ps name to it (for example, a.ps). Then, from the shell type localhost> lpr a.ps This will download the font to the printer. Then you can start using documents with that font in it and all will work. :-) - jiro nakamura -- Jiro Nakamura uunet!shaman!jiro Shaman Consulting (607) 253-0687 VOICE "Bring your dead, dying shamans here!"
