MagicPoint FAQ
Aug 23, 2005
%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
Q: I'm using .dev package of magicpoint and my fonts look jaggy.
A: Giving the "-x m17n" to mgp might solve the problem.
%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
Q: When I incorporate postscript in MagicPoint presentation,
"ghostscript" dies with "WARN: cannot generate pnmraw+ file from
test.eps".
A: Install more recent version of "ghostscript", which supports
"pnmraw" output driver.
A: Give the -X option to "mgp", with name of "ghostscript" output
driver which is configured into your "ghostscript".
%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
Q: Background image will not be reflected to postscript output from
"mgp2ps".
A: This is a feature (or known bug).
%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
Q: I'm using European language for presentations and line-breaks are
not correct.
Q: I'm using European language for presentations and accented
characters will not be generated on postscript output.
A: See README.lang for detail.
%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%

A: ftp://sh.wide.ad.jp/WIDE/free-ware/mgp-snap/

A: See README.fonts for detail.

(2) Regenerate postscript file,
(3) Download your font to your printer,
(4) Try printing the file.
%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
Q: Compilation with png library fails.
A: Check the version number of your png library. in most cases, the
library you are using is too old. note that, some of Linux rpms
uses different version numbering scheme from the original png
library.
%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
Q: %system or %xsystem does not work.
Q: If i use %system or %xsystem, X server (or window manager) dies.
A: The behavior of %system/xsystem command heavily depends on the
behavior of your window manager, and they may not work right for
some of those. as there are so many window managers, we have
trouble supporting them.
