Unfortunately, if you only have the normal screen font installed, then
you will not be able to pick a "true" bold or italic variant for the
font choosen.  This is no big deal for the screen but you will be 
printing a "faked" italic not a true italic font as you have no way
to choose the true italic font.

On the imagewriter this is no big deal, but on the LaserWriter, I
can see a decided difference.  The same holds true for Bold and
Bold-Italic
