[comp.sys.sgi] psview and NewCentury... fonts

atchity@TC2.CHEM.IASTATE.EDU ("Gregory J. Atchity") (04/13/91)

I can't get "psview" to display New Century Schoolbook fonts, but then I really
don't know what they're called...  I'm writing my own postscript generating
programs, and I tried several variations of NewCenturySchlbk, and variations
with hypens between the words.  The findfont failed every time.

WordPerfect uses NewCenturySchlbk-RomanR and NewCenturySchlbk-BoldR, which work
with our HP PostScript cartidges, but psview died on that too.

Can anyone tell me how to get "psview" to display New Century Schoolbook fonts?

NewCenturySchlbk-Roman
NewCenturySchlbk-Bold
NewCenturySchlbk-Italic

are the standard PostScript names.  If you tried those, then perhaps you don't
have the New Century Schoolbook fonts on your system.  I think you need to be
running at least IRIX 3.3.2 to have these fonts.
