  Laser_Prep is only necessary if you're the 1st person to print to
an Apple LaserWriter since it's been turned on.  LaserPrep prepares the
printer for Apple's "flavor" of postscript.  It's not necessary unless you're
going to be printing.

  Don't know about Chicago, but memory seems to think it stays bitmapped.  The
only problem with using mapped fonts is that the screen rendition of a
document could be *very* different from what comes out on the printer.  You
really should use the font that you're going to print in for the most
accurate WSIYWG on the screen.
