This note adress the ability to define fonts/procs on a ALW(+), in a
fashion to store them in VM across jobs.

Alas: Does anyone know how to define fonts/symbols on the
LaswerWriter(+), so the definitions won't be lost at the end of the job.

It would be nice to be able to define prologs once, and then subsequently
use them in other jobs. Same thing goes for often used, user defined
fonts.

I suspect this has something to do with the save/restore recommendation
mentioned in the Postscript language manual, page 94-95. But how to
undo a save (with a restore <definitions> save) when you don't have the
saveobject restore wants ?

And, while I have the net attention, I have heard a document called
``Inside the LaserWriter'' mentioned, but where does one obtain a copy ?
And are there other recommendable documents beside the Postscript Ref.
[from Adobe] one could use, and thereby not using other peoples time to
make up answers ?

Our Apple supplyer only heard of the Adobe manuals.

Help appreciated!
