Hi folks,

i have a little problem with creating PDF files with Ghostscript 7.20 on
Mac OSX (installed with fink).
i have added a Laserwriter(Print Center over lpr) witch creates
Postscript.
i convert this PS output with ps2pdf. Everything ist ok (Images,Layout),
 but the fontconvert doesent work. I cant read anything.

now i copy this PS file to our Linux Suse 7.2 Server using Ghostscript
5.5 and convert the PS file to pdf.
this works without problems.

when i convert the PS File on Mac OSX with ps2ps and then convert this
PS code with ps2pdf, everything is ok, but the pdf file is to large.
800kb (Linux PDF File 200kb).

Intersting: the ps file on Mac is about 440kb, same (ascii)file
converted with a2ps(or printed with Linux) is only 29kb.

Grüße
