| I've had some trouble with both DECwindows mail and DECWrite when
displaying postscript files. DECwrite would crash when I had the
"Encapsulated Postscript" preference turned on. You may want to
turn it off.
HOwever, I've had it work on occasion too, so I haven't yet been
able to track down what's going on. When I do, it'll be QAR time!

| 3609.2 | DECWRITE V1.1-1 ACCVIO's with EPS... | LESLIE::LESLIE | Andy Leslie | Fri Nov 09 1990 10:20 | 9 |
| DECWRITE crashes *every time* I try to link to an encapsulated
postscript file with DW3/VMS V5.4. This isn't the case on a
DW2/VMS V5.4-1 system.
QAR'd, natch.

I don't seem to have any problems with encapsuleted postscript in DECpresent
under v3 and VMS 5.4-1.
The only thing I get DECpresent to complain about is that a font is missing,
which I know it isn't as I reinstalled DECpresent, just to make sure. Is there
something I should be telling v3 to let it know about the font in question.
The font it complains about is :
-adobe-itc zapfdingbats-medium-r-normal--*-140-*-*-p-*-*-*

| 3609.5 | Need to create a font directory | STAR::VATNE | Peter Vatne, VMS Development | Mon Nov 12 1990 17:50 | 23 |
| I've entered a release note on this, but it may not have filtered back
to all users of DECwindows V3:
If you have installed a product that provides its own font files,
and you then install DECwindows V3 IFT, you must manually create
a font directory file for the layered product's font files.
Directions:
1. Log into a system account or an account with system privileges.
2. $ MKFONTDIR :== $DECW$MKFONTDIR
3. $ MKFONTDIR SYS$COMMON:[SYSFONT.DECW.USER_75DPI]
or
$ MKFONTDIR SYS$COMMON:[SYSFONT.DECW.USER_100DPI]
or
both, if you have installed both sets of fonts.
This creates a font directory file that enables the server to find
all the fonts on the system much quicker than before. It was an
oversight that this file is not created on installation. It should
be corrected for DECwindows V3 EFT.

| A warning about zapfdingbats. It is a symbols font and is (or at least was)
incorrectly set up as ISO-Latin1. This causes serious headaches for other
applications that do correct font wildcarding and get this font when they
want a Latin 1 font. There was a way (don't remember the details) to make
sure that this font ended up at the end of the wildcard list and thus never
got picked by accident.

Re .5
Thanks for that info. DECpresent works just fine now without any complaints.
