2: Display Postscript & Answerbook

2007-12-25 8:45:00

Second go at a summary to include useful input received

after the first summary.

Jon Valdes (valdes@geosun.uchicago.edu) pointed out that

the SGI X Server doesn't have the Palatino fonts

required for answerbook to display correctly. He suggested

a few ways of getting type1 fonts from PC's or MACS.

This prompted me to scan the SGI literature.

I found a utility called:

convertmacfont

on the SGI. I used this to convert fonts from the MAC to the SGI. I put

these in the directory:

/usr/lib/DPS/outline/base

and low and behold - answerbook in all it's glory !

Thanks to all that responded.
