Description goldart.geo 2008-08-08 14:53:28 UTC
In document Use.htm, section 'Running Ghostscript with 3d party font renderers',
the last paragraph reads:

Note that UFST and Free Type cannot handle some Ghostscript fonts because they
does not include a PostScript interpreter and therefore has stronger
restrictions on font formats than Ghostscript itself does. If their font types
are listed in HookDiskFonts or in HookEmbeddedFonts, Ghostscript interpret them
as PS files, then serializes font data into a RAM buffer and passes it to FAPI
as PCLEOs.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Ghostscript version (or include output from "gs -h"): 8.63
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Where you got Ghostscript: Ghostscript.com
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Hardware system you are using (including printer model if the problem
involves printing):

Memory: 384MB
CPU: Intel Pentium II 400
Sound: ESS Solo-1
Video: Neomagic MagicMedia 256AV
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Operating system you are using: Windows 98SE
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Suggested fix, if any:

In document Use.htm, section 'Running Ghostscript with 3d party font renderers',
the last paragraph should be:

Note that UFST and FreeType cannot handle some Ghostscript fonts, because they
do not include a PostScript interpreter, so they have stronger restrictions on
font formats than Ghostscript itself does. If their font types are listed in
HookDiskFonts or in HookEmbeddedFonts, Ghostscript interprets them as PostScript
files, then serializes font data into a RAM buffer and passes it to FAPI as PCLEOs.

Other comments: What is PCLEOs? Is it PCL embedded objects? The term should be
clarified in manual.
