What were you trying to do?
preview a raw postscript file
What's wrong:
There is a discrpency between what shows on the screen
and what is printed. The following example shows this:
%!
200 200 translate
newpath
/Helvetica findfont 12 scalefont setfont
0 0 moveto
100 0 rlineto
( moo ) show
100 0 rlineto
stroke
showpage
I'm a very new postscript programmer so this is sort of
my best guess as to what is wrong. xps's internal
concept of where postscript's current point is is
correct, but its own (X) current point is not being
updated correctly after a show. Inserting a
currentpoint moveto
works around the problem.
What should have happened:
Xps should work :-)
