[comp.fonts] TrueType Tribulations

pb1p+@andrew.cmu.edu (Peter Glen Berger) (05/05/91)

Ok.  The system:  Mac Classic, Personal Laserwriter NT.  Lots of INITs
and CDEVs, but no Adobe Type Manager.  Using Suitcase 1.2.8.

I try to install TrueType and fonts.  Quickly find out I need Font/DA
mover 4.1 and Suitcase 1.2.9.  After much searching, I get them.
Install it.

Start up MS Word 4.00B.  Looks great.  Yeah, slow as hell, but it
looks good.  OK, let's try to print.  <wait>  <wait>  <wait>
"Creating bitmap font <etc...>"  <wait>  

Basically, the laserwriter (or *something*) comes back with a
PostScript error, a "VM error"  VM?  WHAT?  "The file is OK, but it
cannot be printed."  Well, gee, thanks.  


Has anyone else had this problem?  What can I do to correct it?
