It works for basic text, but not for other data types. I can't speak
for other platforms, but on an X based system I think this should
happen:
(1) If a bitmap graphics is cut or copied, it should make a png copy
to the X clipboard.
(2) If it is a font, copy it to the X clipboard as a TTf.
This is in accordance with the Free Desktop standard. Please refer to
this page:
http://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/Standards_2fClipboardsWiki
Other data types should follow as the standard evolves.
I think users expect this. For example I can copy a bitmap graphics in
Konqueror and paste it into OpenOffice.

Strange indeed since DND is used widely in NeXTStep. :-)

I think the problem stems from incorrect Postscript font names in the
generated ps data. I have tested it out and Ghostscript chokes on
them.
