Yes, I use that now. But it results in distortions if the dimensions are too different in size. I want something that uniformly changes the weight of the strokes. What are the other zero's for in the [15 0 0 12 0 0] makefont command?

How can I change the weight of a font within a postscript document? I don't mean changing the font SIZE, like 12 point, but changing the thickness of the strokes making up the letter? Thanks

How can I change the weight of the font within a postscript document? I don't mean choosing a different size font, but keeping the same size (i.e., 12 point) but making the strokes of the letters thinner or thicker. Thanks.

I asked this question a year ago, and still have not made it work. I have multiple page postscript files to print. Some I want duplex, some not, some bound portrait, and some landscape. Rather than make manual changes on the printer (HP 4000dn) for each change, I would like to use postscript...

Since Mac os X doesn't seem to support the downloading of postscript files to the printer printing duplex, I would like to know what kind of ps command needs to be used to tell the printer to print both sides of the page, and where in the document exactly should I put it?

I have been able for years to print postscript files (*.ps) stored in a desktop folder by dragging them to the desktop printer (HP 4600) in os 9. New to Tiger, I find the same approach leads to two problems: the files are printing in reverse order (i.e., files "A.ps", "B.ps", "C.ps" when...

It's a filled line/rectangle with light text over it. Is there a reason why a rectangle is better than a thick line? The "gsave grestore" worked just great. Sad to say, that I should have thought of myself.

I have gotten one line to print, just where I want it. But when I try to print the second line I get a "nocurrentpoint" error. ( ) dup show 13 setlinewidth .7 setgray currentpoint -68 -13 rmoveto dup dup 73 0 rlineto stroke currentpoint 30 0 rmoveto 76 0 rlineto stroke I use the empty "dup...

I used to think I was fairly intelligent. A very small question, but after poring over the PS Language Manual and a helpful book "Thinking in Postscript" I still do not get it. Question: After executing a simple 35 50 moveto (words) show I want to draw a line of certain length and width in a...

If I cannot use opacity can I use a dot pattern fill easily to simulate it like setgray does? How can I setrgbcolor and then fill with colored dots? I tried looking first and got nowhere. Thanks

I'm reading through some articles on your site. One question (with no answer after 15 minutes of Google searching): What is "variable data printing"? What does that mean?

Thanks. Sad to say, that's what I already did. I could not even understand the concept of "forms". I read several threads and excitedly referred to the Adobe site for their input you suggested. I couldn't make sense of it. Math major, graduate degree, programmer. Go figure.

This is a great place with great help. I've been using a beta program for the Mac since 1985 called JustText. It converts coded text to ps. When I want to insert a bunch of text in a document, I just strip the text's ps header and footer, save it and use the {inHardDisk:directory:filename.ps}...

So is there any way to control actual opacity/transparency using postscript? Obviously there must be if Mac OS X has transparent windows and uses postscript.

Thanks. That seemed so obvious I wondered why I never thought of it. However, when I tried it, the results were that the lower I made my number (say .30 0.0 0.0 setrgbcolor) the darker and muddier the color got. The opposite of what I was looking for. I am looking for greater transparency...

Has anyone used the spooler at http://tarzan.trincoll.edu/printing/ppr-doc-1.51/pprinst/pprinst.html ? Documentation a little dense for my beginner's mind. I'd like to hear of anyone's experience. Also about any other ps spooling (for a mac). Thx

First question: I know how to use setgray to print a dim or lightweight version of a word, but how can I do the same lightweight effect for a color word? Using setgray ignores the color and makes it gray. Thanks Philip Levine
