Anyhow: the problem is that you need to produce accurate width tables
for Xy4. The ones Robert built for us work beautifully but (believe

Indeed they do, and that's not the problem. The problem is that in
Ghostscript or GSView (or possibly both, I forget now) you need to edit
a file (fontmap) that tells it what fonts you have loaded, and gives
all sorts of info about them, some of which I don't have, since the
fonts in question were ones I purchased years ago, and I think the
company is out of business. The GS docs say you don't have to do this if
the fonts are referenced in a GS variable set in configuration, but that
didn't work the time I tried it. Probably Adobe and MicroSquelch don't
WANT it to work and have done their damnedest to see that it doesn't.
