As a point of clarification, supporting eexec does NOT imply that Adobe's fonts are supported. Eexec is simply an encripted-data reading version of exec and is not tied to the font format in anyway. Additionally, being able to decrypt the data does not mean that one can do anything useful with it since the decrypted stream may contain commands that have little chance of being implemented (such as cexec) or contain data that is formatted in a proprietary way (such as font data). Yes, Tektronix's Phaser line of printers does support eexec but does NOT support Adobe fonts. -------- Whatever I say is my fault and no one elses! ----------- Richard G.
