When this feature is enabled, the header on <A NAME="tex2html1749" HREF="http://gmt.soest.hawaii.edu"><B>GMT</B></A> <I>PostScript</I> output includes a section defining special fonts. The definition is added to the header whether or not your plot actually uses the fonts. <P> Users who view their <A NAME="tex2html1750" HREF="http://gmt.soest.hawaii.edu"><B>GMT</B></A> <I>PostScript</I> output using <I>pageview</I><A NAME="30789"></A> in OpenWindows on Sun computers or user older laserwriters may have difficulties with the European font definition. If your installation of OpenWindows followed a space-saving suggestion of Sun, you may have excluded the European fonts, in which case <I>pageview</I><A NAME="30792"></A> will fail to render your plot. <P> Ask your system administrator about this, or run this simple test: (1) View a <A NAME="tex2html1751" HREF="http://gmt.soest.hawaii.edu"><B>GMT</B></A> <I>PostScript</I> file with <I>pageview</I><A NAME="30799"></A>. If it comes up OK, you will be fine. If it comes up blank, open the ``Edit PostScript'' button and examine the lower window for error messages. (The European font problem generates lots of error messages in this window). (2) Verify that the <I>PostScript</I> file is OK, by sending it to a laserwriter and making sure it comes out. (3) If the <I>PostScript</I> file is OK but it chokes <I>pageview</I><A NAME="30804"></A>, then edit the <I>PostScript</I> file, cutting out everything between the lines: <BR> <P> %%%%% START OF EUROPEAN FONT DEFINITION %%%%% <BR><IMG WIDTH="16" HEIGHT="29" ALIGN="MIDDLE" BORDER="0" SRC="img13.png" ALT="$<$">bunch of definitions<IMG WIDTH="16" HEIGHT="29" ALIGN="MIDDLE" BORDER="0" SRC="img11.png" ALT="$>$"> <BR>%%%%% END OF EUROPEAN FONT DEFINITION %%%%% <BR> <P> Now try <I>pageview</I><A NAME="30808"></A> on the edited version. If it now comes up, you have a limited subset of OpenWindows installed. If you discover that these fonts cause you trouble, then you can edit your <U>.gmtdefaults4</U> file to set <B>CHAR_ENCODING</B> = Standard, which will suppress the printing of this definition in the <A NAME="tex2html1752" HREF="http://gmt.soest.hawaii.edu"><B>GMT</B></A> <I>PostScript</I> header. You can make output which will be viewable in <I>pageview</I><A NAME="30816"></A> without any editing. However, you would have to reset this to TRUE before attempting to use European fonts, and then the output will become un-<I>pageview</I><A NAME="30819"></A>-able again. If you try to concatenate segments of <A NAME="tex2html1753" HREF="http://gmt.soest.hawaii.edu"><B>GMT</B></A> <I>PostScript</I> made with and without the European fonts enabled, then you may find that you have problems, either with the definition, or because you ask for something not defined. <P> <HR> <!--Navigation Panel--> <A NAME="tex2html5533" HREF="node206.html"> <IMG WIDTH="37" HEIGHT="24" ALIGN="BOTTOM" BORDER="0" ALT="next" SRC="next.png"></A> <A NAME="tex2html5527" HREF="node202.html"> <IMG WIDTH="26" HEIGHT="24" ALIGN="BOTTOM" BORDER="0" ALT="up" SRC="up.png"></A> <A NAME="tex2html5521" HREF="node204.html"> <IMG WIDTH="63" HEIGHT="24" ALIGN="BOTTOM" BORDER="0" ALT="previous" SRC="prev.png"></A> <A NAME="tex2html5529" HREF="node1.html"> <IMG WIDTH="65" HEIGHT="24" ALIGN="BOTTOM" BORDER="0" ALT="contents" SRC="contents.png"></A> <A NAME="tex2html5531" HREF="node255.html"> <IMG WIDTH="43" HEIGHT="24" ALIGN="BOTTOM" BORDER="0" ALT="index" SRC="index.png"></A> <BR> <B> Next:</B> <A NAME="tex2html5534" HREF="node206.html">H.4 Hints</A> <B> Up:</B> <A NAME="tex2html5528" HREF="node202.html">H.
