Help with Blank Pages

Hi, James.

As far as I can tell, this code puts no marks on the page (hence the page is blank).

None of the code here is standard PostScript, so somewhere up above in the stream commands such as “Tf” and “g” have been defined. Still, their probable definitions are clear. Here’s what’s probably happening:

8/F6 Tf

Sets the current font to an 8-point Tf, whatever Tf may be.

om1 0 g

The “0 g” part no doubt sets the current color to black. (Dunno about “om1.")

1. 2.64… m

Moves the currentpoint to a position probably near the lower-left corner of the page

( )T

Prints a space character.

Note that none of this actually draws anything that would be visible.

I don’t know how you’d detect something like this, since there’s nothing technically wrong here.

Sorry, looks like my editor added a 1. to the block, above is the actual code. Thanks
