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.
