When I run post (v. 1.86; post.library 1.7), I set up the init.ps file to look
through my font directories for PostScript Type 1 fonts. I include SoftLogik's
PFB files that came with ArtExpression, because these (in theory) should give
me the 35 fonts in Post that are assumed to be built into a PostScript printer.
However, when running a file that calls (for instance) Times-Roman, Post gives
this error message:
post: error: typecheck, command –begin–
If I preload the SoftLogik PFB file into Post, it will run and render
Times-Roman. If Post searches and loads the font because it was called in the
PostScript file, it creates that error.
This is not a problem with the file names. I have renamed all my PFB files to
FontName.PFB and init.ps knows about the .PFB extension. SnoopDOS reveals that
the files are being found and loaded. Fonts work correctly in all other cases.
There is something funny about the SoftLogik PFB files.
