- hello,
- One fix that I've noticed is that MS Word 5.1a now correctly
- prints with fonts greater than 20pt (or something like that). Also,
- font names now use a "-" instead of " " which fixes printing on many
- postscript printers. (fixed in beta0) However, beta1 still gets spacing
- wrong in large fonts. For example, if I print "Testing Executor Beta0" in
- AGaramond 30pt, it prints out like "Testing Executor Beta0".
-
- One more thing, although this is unrelated to beta1. There is a
- printer spooler called PPR, PostScript Print Spooler(??), which is
- supposed to be able to download fonts (both Type 1 and TrueType) and
- lotsa other stuff. I haven't tried yet, and I also don't have the URL for
- the page with me now, but it looks like it can supplement executor
- printing, if it can download fonts. Instead of using ghostscript, people
- can just set PPR to download needed fonts into the printer. Again, I
- didn't try it yet. You can find the link through the Netatalk webpage.
- I'll post it once I get home...
