Nothing wrong except that... well, the LaserWriter only accepts fonts supported in the RAM/ROM of it's own memory.

Or, the name of the font in the file generated by your //gs is a "bit" different from what printer recognizes. -- cyliao@wam.umd.edu o NeXT : I put main frame power on two chips. @epsl.umd.edu o people: We put main flame power on two guys. @bagend.eng.umd.edu o :::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::: xxxxx@xxxxx.xxx.xxx (reserved) o RC + Apple // + Classic Music + NeXT = cyliao
