I am not on a net with a laser printer. I therefore print postscript to a file, then go to the next building and dump it using SendPS. Been doing this for years. Today I edited a 4 page final exam using New Century Schoolbook font. I printed to a postscript file using the new 7.0 Postscript button. Made a postscript file of 640K!!!! I took this healthy sized PS file to the other building, and it took 20 minutes to print 4 pages of text! I had other users ready to kill me. Can someone explain what is going on, technically? Is New Cent Schlbk a True Type font? Does this TT font get downloaded and defined in the laser printer? Since the net I printed on is still running system 6, would it be better if everyone was running 7? ie, once the TT font is downloaded to the LW, would subsequent printouts occur more quickly? If I reintroduce the LW driver 5.2 on my System 7.0 Mac, would that cause me problems when trying to dump a postscript file? Many thanks. Post publicly please. I am sure this question will be asked by others as well! -- >>>---> Ken Weaverling >>>----> weave@brahms.udel.edu
