YES but under different circumstances.  I was using Helvetica 12 with style
of center.  Printed to file (clover F) and then shipped (via unix) to LW+.
I had some rotated (90deg) text in drawing so I thought that might be cause
of problem.

I determined I needed to make my drawing larger (to include more detail in
new layers) so I stretched it to double size and changed all text to larger
font (don't recall what?).  When I printed it (2x2 pages) same text problem.
However when I printed it using the 50% setting in Print the text came out
ok!  Anybody know what's going on?
