This seems to be a problem with the way MacWrite II handles font substitution
to all QuickDraw printers.  From my understanding, CLARIS is aware of the 
problem and is working on a fix.  This problem will also happen when trying 
to print the other substituted fonts (New York & Monaco) with font 
substitution turned "on".

Until the problem is fixed, the workaround is to turn "off" font substitution 
and let the printer use the bitmap version of the fonts (Geneva, New York 
and Monaco).
