This program fails when I print it on our LaserWriter using the
Sun print spooler. It works fine under NeWS. Any ideas?
Thanks in advance...

Before `show'ing a string in PostScript you must have a font set. Your program worked in NeWS because NeWS does a `setfont' when it starts up (so it can print the opening banner). So, just add, say : /Times-Roman findfont 10 scalefont setfont at the begining of your program (anywhere before the first `show') and it should print out. P.S. It will fit on the paper better if you do : 90 rotate 0 -500 translate before /plotcity ... def. :-----:-----:-----:-----:-----:-----:-----:-----:-----:-----:-----:-----: Owen R K Benson STC Technology Ltd JANET: orkb@stl.stc.co.uk London Road, Harlow, Essex, England Tel: (0279) 29531 x2363

NeWS must handle this by loading a default font at some point. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- __ __ /| Curt Jutzi (Jutz) Tektronix Inc.
