ps-font-info-database

ps-font-info-database is a variable defined in `ps-print.el'.
Its value is shown below.

Documentation:
Font info database.
Each element comprises: font family (the key), name, bold, italic, bold-italic,
reference size, line height, space width, average character width.
To get the info for another specific font (say Helvetica), do the following:
- create a new buffer
- generate the PostScript image to a file (C-u M-x ps-print-buffer)
- open this file and delete the leading `%' (which is the PostScript comment
character) from the line
`% 3 cm 20 cm moveto 10/Courier ReportFontInfo showpage'
to get the line
`3 cm 20 cm moveto 10/Helvetica ReportFontInfo showpage'
- add the values to `ps-font-info-database'.
You can get all the fonts of YOUR printer using `ReportAllFontInfo'.

Note also that ps-print DOESN'T download any font to your printer, instead it
uses the fonts resident in your printer.

You can customize this variable.

This variable was introduced, or its default value was changed, in version 20 of Emacs.
