[comp.lang.postscript] Loaded font handling in Postscript.

Loaded font handling in Postscript.

We have a problem with the memory handling in Postscript (level 1). We would
like to load and delete bitmapped fonts, where the order of loading/deletion
is not known from the beginning. Currently we are using savelevels, but this
is not good, because of the stack oriented way that memory handling works in
Postscript. Our problems shows itself when loading font 1,2,3,4 and then get
a memory failure when loading 5. We would then like to delete 1, but we have
to delete 4,3,2,1 and then reload 2,3,4 etc. Is there a better solution to
this ?
