Dear all,

If I take the following postscript-file:

%!PS-Adobe-3.0
/Arial findfont
15 scalefont
setfont
72 200 moveto
(text) show
showpage

then it nicely displays the "text" in Arial, if opening in Adobe Illustrator CS6 Tryout.

But I want it to display in Myriad Pro, so I should change the findfont-command: 

/Myriad-Pro findfont

or something like that. However, this gives rise to the error:

Font not found on the system; missing font has been substituted.

Of course, Myriad Pro IS installed in AI CS6.

Please note that it is NOT an option to change the font in AI, I want this to be incorporated in the postscript file (which is programmatically generated by myself). I checked the manuals (Bluebook, Language Specification,...) but could not find it. Probably I'm overlooking something.

Could anyone offer me some help please?

Thanks very much in advance,
Jef
