An interesting problem...

I was playing around with the 8mm label stack from the Stack Ideas,
and found that, when printed with a LaserWriter, some of the text
fields did not do font substitution (i.e. Geneva was printed as
a bit-mapped Geneva), while other fields did the substitution just
fine and used the LaserWriter's built in fonts.

It seems to be related to the text stored in the fields, although
I have not been able to find a discernable pattern.  (Yes, it does
change, depending on what text I have displayed in the fields!).

I was wondering if anyone had run into something similar...

I have Hypercard v1.2.1, System 4.2, and Finder 6.0 in this 
environment.  Oh, I had also heavily customized the aforementioned
stack, but that shouldn't have caused this...

Thanks for any help!
