Generating PS for Docutech 135 from Frame

[Dina Davidson <DinaD@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hey all:

I am having some problems with my print service provider.

Setup at my end: FM 5.5.6 on Win 95, 128 mb ram, Adobe 4.2.4
driver/Docutech135 ppd. Docs are highly graphical operating manuals: b/w,
all TrueType fonts (I'm working on that with "les grandes fromages" at my
office).

Hmmm.  I have set the TT fonts to download as outlines.
When I distill the file to PDF to have a look, it's ugly: missing characters
too.

When I generate a PS file using the Adobe driver set up with the Acrobat
PPD, I send the TT fonts as Type 42, the resulting PS file is bigger (which
somehow reassures me) and certainly looks a heckuva lot better when
distilled to PDF.

Anyone got any explicit experience with generating PostScript for sending to
a Docutech?

I know I must be missing something here!

Thanks for any help/commiseration/hacks anyone can send my way....

Dina
