Hello all, I don't seem to be able to use the "Z" option to compress downloaded fonts with DVIPS 5.47 under VAX VMS. When I put "Z" in the config.ps file, the output from DVIPS causes my printer to flush the job after giving me the message: undefined: Name not known - offending command is D I am printing to an Apple laserwriter through ScriptPrinter software from my VAX, and have also tried SendPS from a Macintosh, with the same problem. So, this appears to be a problem with DVIPS itself. When I take out the "Z" from the config file, I have no problems, but it would be nice to figure this one out. Anyone else seen this? As an anecdotal piece of information, DVIPS 5.47 produces a file that is 841 blocks long, compared with a file of 1764 blocks from Arbortext's DVILASER/PS, from a sample file. (A block is 512 bytes under VMS.)
