Help! I'm a spoiled brat who's been using a Mac with MS Word and a laser printer to do graphics work at my job. I just bought a 24-pin printer, the KXP-1124, as it's the only printer that had tolerable quality and a college-student price. It has several built-in fonts, which are nice. BUT, they're all 9-point fonts. I'm used to a Mac, where you can set any darned point size you want, even on a dot-matrix printer like the Imagewriter. We hooked up the 1124 to a friend's computer, which has WordPerfect, and it doesn't use the graphics mode of the printer -- it just prints everything in 9-point. Letter-quality proportional-spaced 9-point, mind you, but still 9 point, and not 10, 8, 12, or 24. Aside from buying GoScript and telling WordPerfect that I have a laser printer, is there anything I can do? Is there a different word processor on the market which will take advantage of my 360dpi graphics, without needing a PS translator to act as a go-between? Please respond via e-mail. I read this group once weekly, and I see a lot of posts, but I also miss a lot from turnover. I'll summarize if desired. --- ...
