Distiller’s font handling genrates errors not honoured by ‘stopped’

Distiller XI Pro 11.0.20 (28/03/2017), and many previous versions, crash “… /Font resourceforall”. Try the following code:

%!PS
(*) {
/FontName exch def FontName = {FontName cvn 48 selectfont} stopped pop
} 65535 string /Font resourceforall

crashes with:

%%[ Error: invalidaccess; OffendingCommand: def ]%%

without the “{…} stopped” construct it crashes with:

NanumPen
%%[ Error: invalidfont; OffendingCommand: findfont; ErrorInfo: CharOffsets –
and some non-ASCII characters.

This problem started in about 2013, after an ‘upgrade’ to the Mac OS somehow altered something about fonts. Please could Distiller’s font handling be improved, even if only to honour ‘stopped’.

(There are about 2½k fonts on my computer. I had a PostScript program that would print an example line of type of each. That no longer works. Please could it.)
