From: "James P. Ascher" <jpsa <at> protonmail.com> To: 41958 <at> debbugs.gnu.org, viniciusjl <at> ig.com.br Subject: bug#41958: ps-print-buffer only knows about some fonts for MacOS Preview Date: Fri, 19 Jun 2020 21:30:06 +0000
I use ps-print to produce a PostScript file that I open in MacOS Preview to double-check before printing. I'd like to be able to use Hack as a font rather than Courier. Right now, Hack isn't recognized along with other installed fonts, but I can't tell why some work and some don't. Following the directions in ps-print.el, I tried to add Hack as a Courier replacement. I removed the comment and updated this line: 3 cm 20 cm moveto 10/Hack-Regular ReportFontInfo showpage Opening the resulting PostScript file in Preview.app gives this error: PostScript Conversion Warning Converting the PostScript file "temp.ps" produced the following warnings: "Hack-Regular" not found, using Courier. Similarly for "Hack" or "Hack-Italic." In trying to debug the problem, I checked fonts on my laptop at random to see if any worked. AmericanTypewriter-Light works fine while AmericanTypewriter gives the same error, even though both are in the same directory and seem to be otherwise similar. I'll paste the details of those two fonts below, but I think there must be something in the PostScript generated by ps-print that doesn't load all the fonts. Pages, for example, generates a PostScript file with Hack, but it looks remarkably different than what ps-print generates--so I'm not entirely sure what to compare. I'm not sure what to do next to debug this: my PostScript knowledge is minimal. Does anyone have a sense of how to figure this out?
