[comp.sys.next] Frustrating Font Failure

statman@oak.circa.ufl.edu (Charles D. Kincaid) (03/12/91)

Hello,
	I downloaded the Fonts 1.0 freeware and Fonts 2.0 shareware recently.
I am trying to install them now, but am having major problems.  At one point
I was able to successfully use the 1.0 fonts in WriteNow, but could not print
them.  I get an undefined postcript error.  This problem was experienced by 
others here, but I in my infinitely short-sighted wisdom thought "I'll never
need that!".  Well that's one problem. 
	Problem 2 -- I can only do the above from root.  My own account does
not even know about the Fonts.  (What a stupid account :-)   I checked the
attributes of the Fonts and everyone can read and execute them (and the 
directories).  I'm not sure what else could be wrong.
	Problem 3 --  Well, now I can't even get the above error.  In root
when I try to print in a document with the new fancy fonts everything 
comes up looking like Helvitica or something.  No differences.  This is true
for 1.0 and 2.0 fonts.  Some of the 1.0 fonts get sort of hung up when I try
to set them, also.
	Has anyone else had these problems?  (People tell me that I am not
the only that has "simple" things screw up on them, but I'm not sure if I
believe them :-)  If you have suggestions or solutions, please e-mail me
and I'll summarize.  Thanks a mil'.
