These utilities are known to work on a VAX running 4.2BSD and on a Gould 9080 running 4.3BSD. Printing has been tested on the VAX with an Apple LaserWriter as the PostScript device. I assume you know about the -K and -F keystrokes on the Mac that cause the Mac's LaserWriter driver to generate PostScript. I have used these keystrokes on a Mac+ running System 3.1.1 and Finder 5.2 with the LaserWriter driver installed. (Basically, choose "Print..." from the FILE menu and then hit -F or -K immediately after clicking on the OK button in the dialog box. You will see a message about a PostScript file being created.) -K produces LaserPrep + document. -F produces document only. NOTE: As far as I can tell, the -K only works with the new system and drivers (i.e System 3.1.1 or greater and Finder 5.2 or greater). I am also fairly sure that you should not mix the old and new versions of LaserPrep and LaserWriter Driver; the versions look different enough to cause problems. I have also heard that it is illegal to send text copies of LaserPrep to other users, so you must find a way to generate that file on your own. Sorry. You will need to produce the LaserPrep file and possibly modify it using the enclosed modification file directions. Store your modified LaserPrep file on the UNIX host. Read comments in "laser" as well (Needs customization)! Enjoy! A. Remy Malan 7/24/86 //== E*O*F README ==// echo 'extracting Courier.only' cat <<'//== E*O*F Courier.only ==//' >Courier.only Everything coming out in Courier? The reason that everything comes out in Courier is that the LaserPrep PostScript document only maps Courier into a Mac compatible form. That is why none of the other fonts are used even though they are resident on the LaserWriter. To solve the problem: A. Use "FontAppend", a utility I wrote to automate the solution. B. Manual Solution. Edit the PostScript documents you want to print and insert code to map the fonts you want. 1. Find the line "%%EndProlog" in the document. 2. Immediately above that line add a line or lines of the form /|______ / rf where is the name of the font you want to use. is a boolean flag controlling mapping - use "T" or "F" The mapping flag controls the Mac
