I work in Windows98. I produce a dvi and a ps file running emtex and dvips32 in a DOS window. I use the new type-1 musix fonts. I think I have the most up-to-date versions.
Normally I make a PDF file from the ps using (Windows) Acrobat Distiller 4.0, and print from there to a Laserjet 4MV (non-postscript). However in one case I noticed some longer slurs, both horizontal and slanted, are not printing properly; both ends are cut off. Suspecting my non-postscript printer, I tried printing from (Windows) Ghostview (GSview32 Version 2.7). Voila, the problem goes away. But another problem has arisen in its place. Using DOS versions of dvidvi, dviselec, and dviconca, I make side-by-side images on 11-by-17-inch (ledger) paper so I can make 8.5-by-11-inch booklets. Then I run dvips32 with the -tledger option. The ps looks fine in ghostview, showing the side-by-side pages when I menu-select Media|Ledger. The problem is that only the left half of the page is printed. I cannot figure out how to get Ghostview to tell the printer that it is sending a full ledger sheet. Ghostview uses a non-standard interface to the printer that does not give access to the printer properties in the normal Windows way; if it did, I'd know exactly what to do. All these problems go away if I use bitmapped fonts. The font problems go away when I use a postscript printer, but I don't have access to one that will handle ledger paper. So if I abandon the type-1 fonts I have a complete workaround, but I'd really like to make this all work with the type-1 fonts, and I'm almost there. Any ideas how to get Windows-Ghostview to print the whole ledger sheet? --Don Simons _______________________________________________ TeX-music mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://sunsite.dk/mailman/listinfo/tex-music
