I am having some trouble with using LaserWriter Plus fonts from my
Apple IIGS.   I have copies of screen fonts for all of them; they were
posted to the binaries group about a month ago.   Unfortunately, When
I print to the laserwriter, It does not always give me the font I
want.  

I have read Tech note 67 and I think I understand it.  It says to name
the fonts with the names the LaserWriter expects so that the printer
driver can properly guess the extensions for bold, italic....

One font I cannot get to work is New Century Schoolbook.  This is
because the name the Laser wants to see: NewCenturySchlbk is longer
than a ProDOS file name is allowed to be.   Is there any way around
this? 	

Thanks,

Seymour
