The material was text only, landscape orientation, in helvitica bold font, 18 and 24 point. I had the font substitution turned on, so Triumvirate Narrow (I think, I don't have the manual here at work) should have been substituted. I was under the impression that 18 and 24 point were available (in bold, too) in the fonts that come with the deskwriter. I ended up going to my office to print on the laserprinter there. I couldn't see waiting 18 hours for 21 measly little pages to print out, especially since I couldn't use the mac during the printing! Any ideas why I had this problem and how I might avoid it in the future? Thanks. gordon hester
