City Desk 2.0
Lee, – A 1meg system ought to be able to use several fonts without problems.
Graphics can eat up RAM in a hurry, so that doesn't surprise me as much. How
much RAM is available on the system before you run PixelScript? Are you using
a lot of RAM for disk buffers? Could you email me a PostScript file that runs
out of RAM? – The 2 extra meg of RAM will take care of the memory limitations
for PixelScript. I use a 2.5meg A1000 myself, and only the largest and most
complex pages fail to run. – To save memory, bypass the user interface and run
the PxS inner interpreter module stand-alone. You'll need to do some "assigns"
or, more simply, just start up PixelScript and exit — that will set up the
required assigns. Then process the PostScript file (say, TEST.PS) by entering
the command "PxS:PxS TEST.PS" in the CLI. This saves a lot of RAM (windows and
menus etc require RAM). – We have 4 volumes of typefaces available today, and
more coming soon. One of those volumes is a family (Providence) with Roman,
italic, bold, and bold-italic forms. The other 3 have 3 display faces each.
Remember, our fonts will work with City Desk 2.0 as well as PageStream and
ProPage (etc). – I hope this helps! Have a happy and safe New Year's! Justin
