Timothy,
I got a reply (finally) to my email to Pixelations. I was told by
Justin that the Amiga is no longer supported by them. That's not the same
thing as not upgrading PixelScript if they support other machines. I asked
for clarification on this point. We'll see.
Also, maybe I can get 1.1h from him.
Are you saying I can copy PostScript fonts from other platforms and put
them in the fonts drawer with the .pxsfont extension to add more fonts to
my system? Do I need to convert them in some way? What do I do for screen
fonts?
I tried Post and was wholly unimpressed. It crashed my machine on a
regular basis, and even when it didn't I never got any output. I'm sure I
had something configured wrong, but I had no way to figure out what it
might have been; the documentation didn't help. I don't remember what
version I was working with at the time (might have been 1.2), but I got
gunshy after a few crashes and lengthy, unproductive waits. Also, there
didn't seem to be any way to add more fonts. I guess our experiences don't
match very well. Is 1.6 in the libraries here somewhere? I suppose I
could try it again with this latest version and see if I get better
results.
