Last month I posted an article similar to this, and received exactly one
response, which wasn't helpful.  I thought that perhaps I would get a
better response this month, now that school is in session and everyone isn't
on vacation.
I have noticed that MS Word 4 and Ready, Set, Go! 4.0 do not correctly
print boldface laser fonts on the imagewriter, while MacWrite II does.
The problem is that the fonts are not expanded to allow for the additional
width of boldface, so the characters overlap.
We are using system 6.0.3 and whatever appletalk imagewriter driver
came with that.  We aren't running ATM, and we're using plain finder.
(just in case anyone wants to know)
What is the difference in the way these software packages handle
imagewriter printing?  (by the way, the problem occurred with all laser
fonts we tried, like Palatino, Bookman, and so on.)
