Back with a few more quick questions — I have the Adobe PostScript Tutor and Cookbook (the Blue Book) and have typed in the program that is given for creating Outline fonts, but it seems that the fonts are then only available from within the program that I create them in. This is not quite what I wanted — I want to be able to do basically what the Helvetica-Narrow.ps program does on our L-300 and have the fonts that I create stay available after the program is sent, until printer power off. Can someone tell me what to do to fix this and accomplish what I want. this language someday I might postscript understand % Barry

I haven't looked at the blue book code for some time, but if it's doing what you want within a single job and not remaining available until printer shutdown or reset you can precede it with "serverdict begin 0 exitserver" to make the code resident.
