- Yes, indeed I had the same problem with psutils output and it cost me
- some wasted printouts because I couldn't preview the file. Now in the
- meantime I acquired a better understanding of PostScript and when I read
- your article, I had the idea that maybe we should make systemdict
- writable. I just tried it and it did work though it may not really be
- the ultimate solution. So try to call gs with the option
- -dWRITESYSTEMDICT. Yes, this option is in the manpages, but it is not
- easy to find, just like the manpages themselves. (they're not
- automatically installed)
-
- Happy Hacking!
