Error when tyring to run pcl6

Stephen,

 

I’m not sure about unix, but on windows that error usually means you don’t have the PCLFONTSOURCE environment variable set. Also, it needs to include the trailing slash on windows, so this may be true on unix as well.

 

PCLFONTSOURCE=c:\windows\fonts\

 

Try setting PCLFONTSOURCE=<dir>/windows/fonts/ where dir is the path.

 

 

Hello

I have downloaded ghostpcl_1.41.tar.bz2 and managed to build the product on a Solaris 9 box with GCC.

Problems:

• The README file is wrong it tells you to make fonts and then make pcl6. There is no rule to make pcl6.
• When making fonts (make fonts) it tries to create a directory under root /windows/fonts. I have had to alter the make file to use ./windows/fonts (eg make a directory under the current directory rather than under root). This may have led to the third problem....
• Now when trying to run the program creating a pdf with:

$myobj/pcl6 -sDEVICE=pdfwrite -sOutputFile=stevepcl.pdf steve.pcl
I get the following error message....

No built-in fonts found during initialization
