Deron,

What would cause a font not to be rendered at all?

My problem:
In a regular newsletter that I produce, There is a
heading with three greek letters in it. I have been
using a postscript greek font for years with pgs 3.x
with no problems. I have tried to use it on Windows
Pgs 4 but it ALWAYS shows up as a sans-serif font (maybe
arial but with bad character spacing, as if it was maybe
using the greek .pfm file but was substituting Arial
characters for the greek ones.

I am using ATM to use the postscript fonts under
Windows, and the greek font works fine with ATM and all
other Windows apps. I have had the stupid greek font
converted in Typesmith, using Adobe standard encoding and
also Typesmith encoding. I have had the file converted to
truetype and also had the path direction fix run on all
characters. Nothing. PageStream 4.0 r8c will NOT show
any greek characters from this font. What could cause this?

P.S. Since all I want to do is to put in three characters, I
used Art Expression on the Amiga to change the three letters
to a dr2d file. Unfortunately I ran into the bug where
when you do a place graphic the Pagestream window loses focus
and moves behind another window, losing the graphic. Aargh.
I finally managed to place the graphic, but then had to
edit the graphic. When I selected one char (lowercase alpha)
and tried to do a "convert to path" PageStream crashed
immediately.

I tried to duplicate the above here at work. I drew a closed
path (just an oval shaped loop - three points with splines),
made a larger copy of the same loop, superimposed the two loops
so that one was entirely inside the other, selected both and
then do a "convert to path". The error message was:

Font Substitution: Pagestream4.exe - Application Error
---------------------------------------------------------
X The instruction at "0x0043bdbc" referenced memory at

P.P.S. The greek characters show up in PDF export. (?!?!?!?)
