[comp.sys.mac] FONTS HELP!!!

UD069225@NDSUVM1.BITNET (Eric H. Romo) (10/09/87)

I'm having a problem when using Microsoft Word 3.01 with my Mac+(sys4.1 +
Finder5.5). The problem is two apparently different versions of the Geneva font
are being used- is there such a thing as versions of fonts (like system fonts,
for instance). When I kick-in Word and open my document the the selected text i
s indicated to be Geneva 12pt. When this is printed I get an ugly Geneva font
printed; however when I chose another font file with Fontsie Fkey(v2.0) the
printed result is a very good Geneva font. I haven't been able to install
the "Good" geneva font with Font/DA moverv3.5, only with Fontsie. Tell me
what's happening. Thanks, Eric.
     
     
     
E-mail would be appreciated as well as a net reply.

BTW,I'm using an Imagewriter II. I'm trying to use that Geneva font because it
 gives me the nearest letter quality of any I have- it looks the best off of
the IM II.I own an Imagewriter and access to a Laserwriter is very inconvenient
Hope to hear more, thanks.

    When the Mac prints out a file on the Imagewriter, it looks
for a double-sized version of the font you are using to print
high-quality.  So if you are using Geneva-12, it will print
with Geneva-24 if availible.  Try using F/DA Mover to move
Geneva-24 onto the disk.
