Bug/Rfe:           bug
Synopsis:          font names are sent as strings by ps_findfont and ps_fontdef
Severity:          5
Priority:          4
Description:
        The routines ps_findfont and ps_fontdef send the names of the fonts as
postscript strings instead of postscript objects.

Work around:  
	Use pprintf to find and define fonts.

Suggested fix: 
	Edit the file psmacros.cps in $OPENWINHOME/share/src/xnews/lib/NeWS

	    diff psmacros.cps_old psmacros.cps
	    62c62
	    < cdef ps_findfont(string f) f findfont
	    ---
	    > cdef ps_findfont(postscript f) f findfont
	    84c84
	    < cdef ps_DO_finddef(string font,usertoken) font findfont
	    ---
	    > cdef ps_DO_finddef(postscript font,usertoken) font findfont

then do a make install (change XXINSDIRXX to $(OPENWINHOME)).
