Sorry, but it's impossible for SaxonScript to provide "more" PostScript
support (whatever that means) than licensed PostScript interpreters. Real
PS interpreters, licenced from Adobe, contain hidden functions which even
the laser printer vendors are not privy to (such as the actual Type 1 font
hinting mechanisms). So, though I imagine that SaxonScript does a fair job
with PostScript, I can't believe that it could implement ALL of
PostScript's features (for years, Adobe hid away the fact that the
interpreters contained special hinting functions; who'se to say there
aren't other functions buried away in them that we still don't know about?)
Unless of course Adobe has started selling their secrets to software
interpreter developers, which hardly seems likely…:)
