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. -- Richard Kennaway SYS, University of East Anglia, Norwich, U.K. uucp: ...mcvax!ukc!uea-sys!jrk Janet: kennaway@uk.ac.uea.sys

Do you have text smoothing turned on from the standard page setup dialog box? (In Word it's the Shift-Key trick while selecting Page Setup). Keep in mind that in this version of the printer driver smoothing for text and smoothing for graphics are now seperate choices. -shabtai
