I frequently create a document and print it as a postscript file, convert it
to **AHEM** Mac format, and print it on a LaserWriter NTX.  Many times, the
font name in the postscript file created on my GS does not correspond to the
name of the postscript font in the printer.  For example, the GS writes
AvantGarde-Italic when the NTX font is AvantGarde-DemiOblique.  To fix this, 
I edit the text before downloading it to the printer.

My question? Does the LaserWriter driver or the font file determine the name
of a font for postscript output?  Can you edit this other than physically
editing the output file?

I have a IIgs and am using the LaserWriter Driver supplied with System 5.0.2.

Thanks

Dave
