| I guess we all burned ourselves out before Labor Day weekend. :-)
| 
| I'm moving a customer from one machine to another, and I've copied over 
| pcl6 and the necessary libraries, such that it launches without error, 
| but a filePro generated invoice I would expect ought to create some PDF
| output causes the interpreter to exit with error 1, leaving a .pdf file
| with just a Formfeed in it.
| 
| Did I forget to move the font files?  Where should the go?
| 
| I don't appear to have $PCLFONTSOURCE set on the old machine, and the
| only place I see the URW fonts is in the build directory there, not in 
| any runtime directory -- and the binary's being run from /usr/local/bin,
| so I know those wouldn't be the ones it would pick, unless the programmers
| were really foolish.
| 
| Ideas?  Brian?  Mark?  Jim?  I know you guys have played with some of that.
| 
| Cheers,

Try /usr/local/share, or /usr/local/share/ghostscript.  

Rather ugly but you may have to run 'strings' on the pcl6 binary.
