#PixelScript Compatibl.
3 messages in this thread
Just got the CompuGraphic fonts from Gold Disk. Neat deal, you can make any
Amiga type font you need, or you can have them translated to PostScript.
Alas, the PostScript fonts don't work in PixelScript. The resulting files
give every letter, but the space character is a solid black block. Here's a
workaround till somebody (most likely PixelScript) upgrades.
1) create the PostScript font using the CreateFont program. 2) Fire up your
very best editor on the resultant XXX.psfont file. 3) Search for the string
"c8". You should be on a line of hexidecimal
numbers following something about character definitions. The first def
is
for the space character, and says so. 4) Add "c8" to the end of the
line. (Don't type the quote characters….) 5) Save the file out & enjoy.
If anybody hears anything about this, I'd like to hear about it. Later,
Dave
Have these space characters which don't work w/ pxlscript been tried on a
real PS interpreter ( i.e. a laser printer) ?
Ummm, they haven't been run thru a LaserWriter or the like, at least by me.
However, the change I describe should do nothing, according to my
understanding of the font file & Adobe's red book. When I make a null
change, but it fixes a problem, I usually call that a bug 😉
