I have just recently been plagued with a problem that I believe should be
mentioned to the network.  I manage a MAC network that has about 40 SE/30's
and MAC II's, two laserprinters and a colormate PS printer.

The problem has to do with the inadequecies of WP 1.03 and its ability to 
recognise font numbers.  We were having problems with some of our copies
not recognizing the font type and not rewriting a change to the screen or the
printer.  It turns out that WP 1.03 does not have the ability to recognise
font numbers above 256.  With the new NFONT resource, font numbers can be 
much larger than this (32,000 to big?).    

After talking with WordPerfect we were told that the new version would take
care of this problem.  The new version will not be out till the next quarter	though but there is an intermediate FREE bug fix (version 1.2???)

I just thought you would like to know that if you have this problem there is a 
solution .
