I have several questions which I hope someone can answer. I have an
AST/TurboLaser PS+3. It has Postscript level 47.0 installed. AST is no longer
selling this product and will not be issuing any upgrades.
What I want to know is what are the ramifications of having this level of
Postscript? What is the current level of Postscript? Is there a list of the
changes at each revision and where can I get it? What happens as time goes on
and I get further behind? Is there any way that I can upgrade the ROM without
AST myself?
On a related note, does the second edition of the Red book cover Postscript
Level two?
And on an unreleated note, Does anyone have a file that can list and/or print
samples of ALL the fonts resident in ALL the dictionaries? I have a program
that will print samples of the resident fonts and one that will print a list
of the resident fonts, but I would like to print samples of fonts that have
been downloaded by other programs. For instance, the Seattle font is downloaded
by the Macintosh LaserWriter driver and I would like to print a sample of it.
The same goes for the fonts downloaded by my DVI2PS driver. Both of these
create their own dictionaries.
And on an semi-related note, does anyone know why the Mac driver downloads
the Seattle font. I have never seen it used and it just takes up memory.
What would happen if I removed it?
