Re: e/l printing (fwd)




Printing "AGaramond Italic" on a real Mac without "Font inclusion"
causes Ghostscript to substitue this way:

But printing "AGaramond Italic" with Executor makes Ghostscript
looking for "AGaramond Italic" which is the MenuName, instead of
"AGaramond-Italic" which is the Postscript FontName.

Perhaps you will have to change Executor not to use the MenuName for
printing and to use the postscript name instead. I dont know how to do 
this if only the MenuName is stored in the bitmapped fonts. How about
not only dragging the bitmapped fonts to the hot band but also installing
the MacOutlineFont (=printer font) for downloading to the printer.

    Postscript FontName:   AGaramond-Italic
    Macintosh Menu Name:   AGaramond Italic
    MacOutline FileName:   AGarIta
    Windows/PC MenuName:   AGaramond
    Windows/PC FileName:   gdi_____.pfb
    
    To remap fonts you have to use two lines:
    
    /AGaramond Italic      /AGaramond-Italic   ;
    /AGaramond-Italic      (gdi_____.pfb)      ;

    Some examples:

    /Font-requested-for-printing    /A-Different-Font ;
    /A-Different-Font               (foo_____.pfb)    ;

    /Helvetica-Narrow               /Sans-Narrow    ;
    /Sans-Narrow                    (hln_____.pfb)  ;

    /Palatino-Roman                 /Palton-Roman   ;
    /Palton-Roman                   (por_____.pfb)  ;
    
    Please tell me if it worked for you, and if so I will write
    an entry for use in the FAQ.
