Your proposal will (or at least should) result in a font not found error...unless someone has gone to the trouble to set up aliases for all the New Century Schoolbook fonts, of course. If possible, setting up such aliases might be the appropriate solution for the original poster. der Mouse old: mcgill-vision!mouse new: mouse@larry.mcrcim.mcgill.edu
