[bug-pcl] Please Help: Unable to run pcl6.exe

[Srivani Godavarthy]

Hi,

    Yes, I am running GhostPCL in Windows (2000 and XP).
I have tried copying the URWFonts into the Windows\Fonts directory and
also to
WINNT\Fonts directory but still the Message "No Built-In Fonts found
during Initialization" is displayed.

Kindly let me know any registry settings or path settings while setting the
Enviroment variables required.

Kindly let me know any solution as early as possible.

Thanks,
Srivani.

> For pcl files it is possible to generate files where the index to a
glyph has no relationship to a unicode value,  OCR is the only way to
recover these.  Most of the text in pcl files either used unicode or a
symbol set so it is possible to determine the character code, but not a
trivial exersize as we do not provide a pcl->ascii or pcl->unicode output
device.
