I have a Mac SE and a LaserWriter II using MacDraw and MacDraw II. Both software packages use the Geneva font for the default fonts. When I use MacDraw, I have no problem with the Geneva font being printed. But when using MacDraw II, I get a bit map of the font. I'm not sure how to correct this problem. The problem occurs when MacDraw documents are changed to the MacDraw II format and when I create a new document. Any suggestions? Thanks in advance Michele Clayburg mtuxo!michele 201-576-6185

--When I use MacDraw, I have no problem with the Geneva font being printed. --But when using MacDraw II, I get a bit map of the font. Well, Apple's Laserwriters normally substitute Helvetica, Times, and (I think) Courier for the screen fonts Monaco, New York, and Geveva. When you print, you should have an option marked "font substitution." With this un-checked, the default font substitutions are overridden and the Laserwriter has no choice but to print in bitmap. My guess is that you were actually seeing the Laserwriter print in Courier the first time, and that for some reason you un-checked the substitution box in your print dialog box later on. This could also be accounted for if you are using a floppy-only system and had two different startup disks (one for Draw and one for Draw II). Hope this helps. ================================================================================ DISCLAIMER: The opinions expressed herein are mine!

This gives more accurate character placements. Only trouble is that when you use this the ROM doesn't let you do automatic font substitution. This means that whatever way you set the check box in the printer setup dialog, you'll never get font substitution in MacDraw II. -- michael
