Subject:   PostScript from AWGS
Greetings,

     After seeing the previous posts on this subject, I went home and tried it
out on a resume.  I typed it up, and followed the instructions, and sure enough
I got a postscript file.
     I then went to transfer it to my Mac at work.  I tried this in three ways:
     1)  I used Apple File Exchange default translation from ProDOS to Mac.
     2)  I used AFE again, only set to text transfer with the option box about
control character translation set to "neither."
     3)  I uploaded the file to a VAX using Kermit, then used trivial FTP to
transfer it to my Mac.

     All of the files came out with (very) slightly different sizes, but it
didn't seem to make a difference, because when I send them to a LaserWriter
with SendPS 2.0, they all came out exactly the same way.  The formatting was
all perfect, all the bold and underlined text came out properly.....but the
font was changed from Palatino to Courier, except in the first four lines
(centered, bold text) and one other line (the other bold text).  The printer
message box told me, as it was printing, "cannot find Palatino; substituting
Courier."  Obviously, it *does* have Palatino, as it printed the first four
lines properly.  Also, when I dumped a different postscript file, created with
MSWord 4.0, it printed properly in Palatino.

On a whim, I pulled the resume PS file into an editor and did a search and
replace, changing Palatino to Times.  Same exact problem, the bold text came
out in Times, all the rest in courier.

Does anybody have any ideas about what could be wrong?  All help appreciated.

Bill
