Red Book: Section 5.3: Page 96 says: "........................ Each FONTTYPE has its own independent space of UNIQUEID values." (i.e., within the super-range of 0 to 16777215.) Does anyone in PostScriptLand know the range of valid UniqueID values for Type 3 fonts? This is not documented in the Red Book. -- Piyush Jain piyush@applix.com

The range is 0 to 16777215 for each FontType, separately. That is, fonts with different FontType need not have different UniqueID in order for font cache integrity to be maintained. > >Does anyone in PostScriptLand know the range of valid UniqueID values >for Type 3 fonts?

I can finally stop worrying about what will happen when I add those 9 million fonts to my printer. :-) -- james "kibo" parry, 138 birch lane, scotia, ny 12302 <-- close to schenectady. kibo@rpi.edu / Kibology / All colors / Kibo is no userfe0n@rpitsmts.bitnet / is better! / are arbitrary. / ordinary bozo.
