Since upgrading to System 6.0.3 and LaserWriter 5.2, I find that Word 3.01
will not print smoothed bitmap fonts - they print, but always unsmoothed.
However, bitmap graphics (but not bitmap fonts within PICTs) print
smoothed ok.  Other programs (you know, the ones that follow the interface
guidelines and use the standard print dialogs :-)) dont have any problem.

Anyone else seen this?  Anyone know a fix?  Does Word 4 solve the problem?
I know the trick of holding down Shift while invoking Print or Page Setup
to get the standard dialogs, but they dont seem to have any effect.

A workaround might be to go back to LaserWriter 5.1, but when I tried, all
printing failed - the Chooser could see the laserwriter, but nothing else
could.
