Thanks Werner,
I'm sorry for the attachment. I won't do it again.
So thank you for the tip. I disabled the fonts in the /devps/download file
and it went from 12MB to 92K so that is already a big step forward.
Is there a better way to disable the embedding of fonts ?
Because I still see a lot of this :
"
grops begin/DEFS 1 dict def DEFS begin/u{.001 mul}bind def end/RES 72
def/PL 841.89 def/LS false def/ENC0[/asciicircum/asciitilde/Scaron

/.notdef/.notdef/.notdef/space/exclam/quotedbl/numbersign/dollar/percent
/ampersand/quoteright/parenleft/parenright/asterisk/plus/comma/hyphen
"
in the Postscript file.
Can I somehow remove them. I don't need all those special characters.Thank you all Kind regards Wim Stockman Op wo 20 jan. 2021 om 22:11 schreef Werner LEMBERG <w...@gnu.org>: > > Wim, > > > > I'm generating my postscript file with my own macros for writing > > company letters.
