Michael, I contacted Pixelations about a year or so ago (also about the same time i found Post1.3). It seems that the "company" is a one-man operation, and from the tone of his conversations with me he's not really continuing to upgrade Pixelscript. The latest version, which he happily sent me was 1.1h. A little known trick you may try if you're using pixelscript is to put your postscript fonts in the fonts: drawer of the Pixelscript directory, but be sure to append them with the .pxsfont extention — if you do they should be recognized by Pixelscript just fine! Also, you might try Post, now up to V1.6 It works quite well, by my experience with some minor glitches: 1. you have to manually set the screen size (x about 2550, y about 3300 pixels) in the startup screen in order to print. 2. you can't get both screen and print output at the same time (although I'd be interested to see if anyone with a 2Meg Agnus can do this!!!) 3. some fonts with "non-documented encrypted hints" don't want to load very well Other than that, it seems to be a quite workable program. I've tried both, and in comparison I've had more success with Post (at least the 1.6 version). AND, FWIW, Adrian Aylward even wrote me back when I wrote him with a problem I was having getting Post to recognize the Sonata music font. – Tim Trompeter…
