Re: New PostGhost and Xy2PDF frames (+TMPFILE)




Actually, Manuel... I'm trying to think of a reason why the CodePade would
make any difference... and I can't think of one. CodePages are just
differences in glyphs, in appearances. They're cosmetic differences. Character number 225, for example, may look like a German sharp s (eszet, or
double s) or a Japanese kanji or a math symbol -- but it would still be
character 225.

Now wait... I retract that. Normally that would be true, but in this special
*Postscript* case, yes, there would be some differences, because the PS prolog
in POSTGHST.PRN does map certain character numbers to specific PS entity names.
For example, it maps a thorn to 225. Hmmmm... this needs a deeper look. When I develpoed Ansified XyWrite, did I provide you with a Postscript driver
(a PRN)? If so, could you ZIP that up and send it to me privately so I can
take a look at it?
You're right, as usual. See my former message. Anyhow, I have sent the
ansified PRN files to you.
Best regards,
