APPENDIX D II TROUBLESHOO liNGANSWERS TO TYPICAL POINTLESS QUESTIONSQ. Anytime I highlight text and select a new font all I get is the Shaston font.What's wrong?A. Whenever your GS is unable to load a font into memory, it will use the default systemfont, which happens to be the Shaston font, as a substitute, This is typically caused by alack of memory. To free up memory, try using asmaller sized font or using fewer fontsin your document. Remember, you can also configure Pointless to only generate specificcharacters of the fonts character set (see Configure in Chapter 4). This can save a lot ofmemory, Ultimately, the best solution is to add more memory to your computer.Q. None of my TrueType fonts show up in my program's font menu?A.
