I am becoming quite a Publishing Partner enthusiast now that our Laser
Writer connection is behaving itself.  I recently used it to compose a
lab assignment for an EE class here, combining schematics from DEGAS
Elite with text keyed into Publishing Partner.  My boss wanted a reference
for the book I'd xeroxed it out of!  No book, just me and my ST.

The one thing that I would really like to be able to do is to get at the
math symbols and Greek alphabet.  According to the LaserWriter book some
symbols are stashed in the upper 128 characters of the Helvetica font,
and of course the Symbols font has most of the others I'd need.  I can
make up mathematical fonts for the dot matrix printers using the font
editors from compuserve, but I don't see that they affect the Postscript
driver.  Anybody have ideas on this?  I can use DEGAS Elite to build
equations and pull them in that way, but it takes quite a bit of fiddling
to get the font sizes to match and to look good doing it that way.
