Using PrGeneral() to Download Fonts
|
Q: I'm having a problem using a PrGeneral call for the LaserWriter 8
to download fonts to my Encapsulated Postscript (EPS) files. Sometimes, while writing the font
info to my EPS file, my program crashes or I get a bus error. It may happen with the second or
with some later font -- not always at the same place. And it doesn't seem make a any difference
which font is being written. I'm compiling with Symantec Think C++ 6.0. Is it a bug?
A: Yes, it's a bug, and a fix is forthcoming in the LaserWriter 8 driver, version
8.3 release.
One word of caution: The PrGeneral call you're using in LaserWriter 8 will
continue to be supported, but you need to check that the opcode continues to be
supported by checking if it returns an opNotImpl (opcode not implemented)
error.
