Queations about postscript and fonts, PM6 and .pdf
Subject:Queations about postscript and fonts, PM6 and .pdf From:Raymond Chenier <rchenier -at- SYNAPSE -dot- NET> Date:Fri, 5 Jan 1996 04:09:59 GMT
The postscript concept is one that has eluded me long enough (I hope).
I tried to create a .pdf file from PM6 and I must install a postscript
driver. I have an Optra laser, or does that even matter.
Q1: I have loads of .pfm (.pfb? fonts), Is it possible that I am not
even making use of these because I don't have a ps driver loaded?
Q2: What advantages, if any, are there if I load a ps driver.
Q3:I think my laser has a pcl emulation, is this related?
This whole postscript issue is one that I have had trouble locating
good information on.
thanks
