Font substitution occurs in only two cases:

	Times Roman is substituted for New York

	Helvetica is substituted for Geneva

Note that the character spacing of the original font is preserved, so as
to preserve formatting; but the appearance and readability of the printed
text suffer as a result.

Font substitution can be defeated in the Page Setup dialog.
