[net.micro.mac] Printing special chars in the symbol font on the LW...

jeffay@uw-june (Kevin Jeffay) (03/01/86)

I'd like to use some of the special characters found in the option
and shift option character sets of the symbol font.  (greater-than-
or-equal-sign, floor & ceiling brackets, etc.)  They come out fine
on the ImageWriter but, you guessed it, not on the LaserWriter.  I get
the character equivalent on the regular character set.

I'd like to know either how foolish I am, or how to do it.  Thanks
in advance...

I hate to contradict you, but I just printed out the special characters you 
mentioned on the LaserWriter with no problems.  I have Symbol installed on
the System, and I just used MacWrite to type in the characters in Symbol.

I then printed it.  I don't know what you did wrong.
