- As documented in fonts.doc, the first argument to font2c must be the
- font name, not the font file name.
-
- While we're on the subject of font2c, you should know that the
- version of font2c distributed with Ghostscript 2.5.2 produces
- incorrect output for any font that doesn't use StandardEncoding or
- ISOLatin1Encoding. In particular, you can't compile the Symbol or
- ZapfDingbats fonts. If you need a revised version before Ghostscript
- 2.6 is released (sometime in 1Q93), please contact me by e-mail
- individually.
