Hi, I'm seeing that some ttf fonts have problems when running with ghostscript5.10 on freeBSD 2.2.6. (I'm using xfstt099 as my trueType font server.) Many fonts work fine. Some botch badly. Here's an example of what I'm seeing with, say, times.ttf (Times New Roman Regular:Version 2, Monotype Corporation plc/Type Solutions Inc. 1990-1992): ---------------------------- % gs prfont.ps Aladdin Ghostscript 5.10 (1997-11-23) Copyright (C) 1997 Aladdin Enterprises, Menlo Park, CA.
