Well,
Now I'm back to it being related to the font. Take this:
@SysInclude {tbl}
@SysInclude {doc}
@Document
@InitialFont {Trebuchet Base 10p}
//
@Text @Begin
@Tbl
aformat address@hidden strut {1i} height {1i} indentvertical {foot} width
{7.5i} indent {.5i} font {18p} @B A}
bformat address@hidden width {7.5i} indent {.5i} A}
{
@FirstRowb
A {14p @Font {SOME HEADING}}
@Rowb
A {read this}
@Rowb
A address@hidden {This text is bold.}}
@Rowa
A {YOU SHOULD HANG ONTO THIS DOCUMENT}
@Rowb
A {You may need it for something later.}
@Rowb
A {Like for jotting down a note to your significant other on the
back.}
@Rowb
A {Or to start a fire if you're freezing to death.}
}
@End @Text
If I run that through lout, the ps2pdf, every bit of the text in the PDF
printout is clipped.
BUT, if I change only one thing,
from: @InitialFont {Trebuchet Base 10p}
to: @InitialFont {Times Base 10p}
and run it, all the text prints fine from the Acrobat.
So, now some questions: is it possible that the conversion of the TTF to
Adobe
Type 1 font is bad? I don't see how it could be because the PS file
looks
and prints fine from GSView. Since ghostscript supports TrueType fonts,
should
I just put the TTF files in place, and kill the .pfa & .afm files? If I
do,
where do I put the TTF files? Do I put an entry in Fontmap.GS?
I know this isn't all particular to lout, but I appreciate anyone's
help...
