I am having a terribly aggravating problem.
I want to generate a postscript file, so I hit command-F when I begin
to print. For some reason, I get the message
"A Screen (bitmap) version of the font "Symbol" is being created,
because the laserwriter doesn't have this font"
Where on earth did my Mac get this crazy idea? I told it I had a
laserwriter connected to Appletalk. Is there some way I can convince
it that this laserwriter has the symbol font? I am getting some
really crummy-looking symbol characters because of this behavior!

Well, I finally solved my own problem. Sorry for troubling everyone.
I was using a set of fonts called "Laser", which I assumed meant the
laserwriter. These came from a PD archive. Somehow, they are not the
same fonts as the laserwriter needs, even though they look the same
and come in all the same types & sizes. Anyway, I reinstalled all my
fonts from the "Mac II" font file that came with my computer, and
things are working again.
