generating postscript files (fonts not embedding correctly?)
Hi Guys,
This is probably something i'm doing very wrong, but I am attempting to
generate postscript files, and no matter what I do I seem to get gibberish
(assuming because the fonts are not embedded properly (the file size is too
small for that))
I have attached my config, my FO test file and my postscript output..
Can someone spot what i'm doing wrong?
Thanks Guys
Martin.

Interesting. I never knew about that utility. Looks worth saving to
favourites for future reference.
Thanks Martin!

Ah - that'd be the exact problem then :-)
Will go and do some research on type1 - wonder if fonts can be
converted?
Thanks Chris :)

The key thing to remember with Postscript output is that True type Fonts
are not supported. You have to get a Type1 variant to use it with
Postscript. Since your fop.xconf only references font directories I
couldn't easily tell if that is the problem in your case as I don't know
if you have any True Type Fonts there.
