According to my doc on Word 4.0, Word doesn't support those fonts unless you
are using a LaserWriter Plus.  Why?  Who knows...  The only PS fonts
supported for non-LaserWriter Plus printers are Courier, Helvetica, LineDraw,
Symbol, and TimesRoman.

There was also a mention that PageView doesn't support Word Style Sheets...
too bad, 'cause that is one of Word's claims to fame..
