LaserPrep revisited...
From: Richard Clark
In a post here a few months ago, I mentioned how typing while
printing to the LaserWriter gives you a text copy of the LaserPrep file. (Just like
gives you the PostScript commands for the document you otherwise
would be printing.) Unfortunately, just downloading the Prep file + the PS file doesn’t
work right -- everything comes out in Courier. Well, I just found out what’s
happening:
The LaserWriter needs to have its internal “font list” initialized first. Try the
following (after LaserPrep and before the PS file):
% The query
md begin
%?fontList
lsf
%?end
end
Or, you can initialize just the fonts you need:
% make this “semi-permanent”, i.e. until the power goes off
% (otherwise, it only applies for this job)
serverdict begin 0 exitserver
md begin
% The format is...
%/ / rf
/|____Times-Roman /Times-Roman T rf
% Use the built-in encoding vector for the above.
