The other fonts have different names in the postscript output from awgs.
eg I use bookman, and I have to replace Bookman with Bookman-Light and
Bookman-Bold to Bookman-Demi.
I guess other fonts are the same situation.

I have had no problems with justification (I only use WP) but I discovered
when I tried PL that mixing text and graphics was not possible since text
wants to use COndensed setting of Laserwriter driver, but graphics needs to
have Normal (unless you are prepared to draw the graphics with double height).

I'm keen to hear what you find in your tests, especially if you find a way of
using graphics and text in PL without the kludge of drawing the graphics
double height.

Cheers,
