2 questions about fonts

2009-05-08 Thread Hugh Myers
I've a great many postscript fonts installed under Windows XP--- is there a way to acquaint cygwin of these? How are font names resolved for lpr? For instance in a non cygwin situation, I might have a line in a postscript file such as: /BriemMono findfont 8 scalefont setfont (typeset these words)

After getting both gs and gv to find and use the .PFB fonts on my system I am now stumped by lpr. I had thought that lpr would use ghostscripts font mechanism to resolve font references in a postscript file, but apparently not. While both of the other utilities correctly find and display the desire

This might come across as slightly smart-assed, but if you wrote your script in Perl, you wouldn't have the platform problem, nor the word-boundary problem. True you would have a Perl problem, but that would still be several orders of magnitude easier than trying to have Linux, Cygwin and Posix com

Csaba is quite correct. That said the thing to remember is the examples of either approach are far more likely to be written in either 'C' or 'C++' so your ability to translate from one or the other to Ada will be the key to your success.
