SYMPTOMS
When you use Princeton Publishing Labs' PostScript controller board model PS388 manufactured by Raster Image Processing Systems (RIPS Inc.), TrueType characters are clipped when printed.

The characters are most often clipped at point sizes greater than 12 points; however, this may happen at any point size.

CAUSE
This is a problem with the early production RIPS boards.

To identify an earlier board not compatible with TrueType, look at the file date of the file that is downloaded to the PostScript board when the system is started. If the file date is 1991 or later, the board should not have problems with TrueType.

RESOLUTION
For assistance with this problem, call Raster Image Processing Systems (RIPS, Inc.).

MORE INFORMATION
RIPS Inc. indicates the problem is only present in earlier boards based on Weitek processors. The newer boards based on Intel processors work correctly.

The PS388 PostScript board was marketed by Princeton Publishing Labs.

The RIPS products included here are manufactured by a vendor independent of Microsoft; we make no warranty, implied or otherwise, regarding these products' performance or reliability.
