Michael, I'm pretty sure that all that Pixelscript needs in order to use a font in it's font directory is the .pxsfont extension; I seem to remember trying that out shortly after I got v1.1h. But my experience is quite different with Post1.6, once it was set up properly it consistently worked better for me than Pixelscript (which I paid full retail for, and took off my harddisk and replaced it with Post). Post can use any IBM Type 1 font (and i think type 3's as well). I even used it to "trim" the Laserprep files from my Mac stuff (via AREXX, of course 🙂 ) and can print most of the Mac stuff saved to postscript files. Pixelscript gasps and dies on the Laserprep file (at least when I tried it). Of course, there's the occasional headache, but hey, i'm learning postscript in bits and pieces at the same time. Post v1.6 should be online somewhere. I'd be happy to help you troubleshoot it if you need the assistance. – Tim Trompeter…
