Re: [hylafax-users] BreakIntoLines goes the wrong direction?

[Curtis Rempel <Curtis.Rempel@corp.shaw.ca>]

I looked at the BreakIntoLines procedure and played around changing the two
'show' commands from 'index sub 2' to 'index add 2' and that worked.

I just read Alan's message and the suggestion of -93 vs 93 works also and is
of course the better solution.  The obvious thing I missed was the negative
sign.

Thanks Lee & Alan.

Yeah, postscript coordinates are in the 1st quadrant, so as you go down a
page the y coordinate gets smaller, not bigger.

You may want to take a look at:
http://bugs.hylafax.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=81

If you can make the given patch use stringwidth rather than
character-count, then we can probably get the patch committed to CVS.

Thanks.
