I have the beta OS X PgS 5.0.4.20 Pro instaled, printing to a networked
Postscript printer. Any "non-standard" (I guess) fonts won't print,
regardles whether they are .ttf or .pfb types.

It's not just a case of fonts not being embedded. If I print to a PS file
and examine that file, none of the texts set to "non-standard" fonts are
included at all.

Is this a known limitation or a bug to report?

Hi Steve,

First, wrong mailing list! Others have reported this with .20, and you
would be well served to download and try .19.

Oops! I've had the Amiga Beta ML simply labelled as "PageStream Beta" in
YAM and completely forgot there were separate lists for the different
platforms, apologies!

Where can I DL .19 please? My list of downloadables shows only .20 as
available for download.

ps. the link to the YahooGroups Windows Beta ML at
http://pagestream.org/showdocs.php?id=1265 near top of page is a mialto:
which it (obviously) shouldn't be.

I found while driving in Wyoming that wearing a stetson and driving a
beat-up pickup meant you could go as fast as you like, while the police
picked up Californian winnebagos that went one mph over 55. After all,
they wanted to *bring* money into the state, not merely circulate it.
