- Has anyone out there successfully printed Mac generated postscript
- on a NeXT? I'm having a strange problem where the font gets slightly
- warped -- it is the correct font and all, but many of the characters
- have a point in their outline translated to their origin. Makes it look
- like I got the page wet and smudged everything down and left.
-
- In addition, I have to prepend the line "%! foo" to the beginning
- of the files to get them to print at all. This prevents the NeXT from
- trying to interpret the file as conforming postscript -- otherwise, I get
- nothing at all (it complains about the "BoundingBox: ? ? ? ?" line).
-
- I've looked at macps and a couple of other packages out there that
- are supposed to make this work, but none seem to deal with these particular
- problems (most have added problems, actually).
-
- Please respond via email, as I have limitted news access.
-
- Thanks,
