I have bought a font created using Fontastic..
I am inserting it into the prolog of ditroff|psdit generated documents
and then lpr'ing it, and the whole job dies..
When I take only the font and cat postscript commands to set the font
and then show some text using the font, and then lpr it, I get NOTHING..
not even an error message.

This happens no matter what printer I use, LW+, LWII, Qume 800, Qume 820,

When I take my own Fontastic generated font and take the expanded form,
with the rlinetos and the rcurvetos in full form, I can get it to work,
but when I used the fontastic compressed form.. I get NOTHING..

I can play this trick with my own fontastic fonts, but not with those
licensed by others...

Has anyone else noticed this problem and come up with a solution??

Thanks 
Dan
