I've installed the scalable fonts on my Windows 3.0 to drive a
deskjet plus.  I do not have any cartriges on the deskjet.
 
The screen fonts are OKay.  I don't always get italics or bold fonts
on the screen when I should.  W4W knows the format - it just isn't
displayed correctly.  Other times characters are displayed as bold
or italic.  This is more likely to happen if I have several different
fonts (Univers & Courier & ...) than if I have just one.
 
I did not think I would care if a document took a long time to print.
Docs printed with scalable fonts do take a long time.  They also
require a lot of CPU time from my PS/2 55SX - much more than I
anticapated.  If I want to print a letter while I'm typing a second
I have to switch back to the old driver & fonts.  I just can't
wait around.
