[comp.sys.next] Question about using Type 3 fonts with NeXT

amanda@visix.com (Amanda Walker) (02/05/91)

We have a cube that we use mainly as a nice UNIX PostScript printer.  Over
the last several months, I've put a number of Type 1 fonts into
/LocalLibrary/Fonts, with uniformly good results.  However, today I tried
putting in two Type 3 fonts (evidently generated with Fontographer 2.3
on the Mac).  They worked beautifully ... the first time.  However, after
that, they complain that they can't find Aldus's PostScript dictionary.

I figure I'm running into Display PostScript's shared VM--the font stays
around, but the support dictionary goes away.

Has anyone (a) run into this problem, and (b) have a quick fix for it,
before I go digging into the bowels of these fonts?

Thanks,
