I've never had any trouble with this...

I use textcraft +, I've also used emacs (I know, it's a text editor), and
Talker, and Scribble (a very old copy).  Textcraft + is the easiest and
gives the most acceptable results though.  To use it, all you need to do is
download your soft-fonts with the correct font number assignments and use
a special driver which can be gotten from C-Ltd (now out of business, I believe)
or MicoSearch (I think...).

Call MicroSearch for more info If you are interested, I use their CityDesk 
program and switch between it and Textcraft+ all the time...
