[comp.sys.mac.misc] Importing PostScript ?'s

gillooly@vixvax.mgi.com (06/03/91)

In an earlier posting someone asked for a PostScript to screen viewer. 
 The current version of Freedom of Press was recommended.

We have a lot of experience with this software and it works quite 
well.  I highly recommend that you have a math coprocessor (SI owners 
take note).

I am looking for a program that will incorporate a pure PostScript 
file as an import.  This seems to be no problem for EPS format, but 
straight PostScript seems to be impossible to import.

Any Ideas?

Try using the Postscript Escape font, available from Sumex.  Be sure to read
the docs that come with it.  The idea is that you import your PostScript file,
change the font to Postscript Escape, and then the PostScript printer interprets
it as postscript instead of text.  The docs with the font gives instructions
for just how to get it to work with several kinds of apps.  (I haven't tried
it yet; please let us all know if it works!)
