Wait, if I print out using a standard resident Postscript font like Times I am not sending the screen font to the printer anyway. His problem is that he didn't read every single word of the mediocre documentation. If he had he would know to change the pitch to 15 before printing to Postscript from excellence!. That is the cause of the aspect ratio problem on his printouts. You are correct, however, in pointing out that you can substitute fonts as long as the proper metric is also in the fonts directory. -- Jimmy Liberato liberato@dri.com ...uunet!drivax!liberato
