There seems to be a bug in the HP DeskJet driver that comes with Windows 3.0. When I try to print Finnish characters like A:s or O:s with the funny little dots on them they appear as black boxes on the paper. This happens only with the built-in Courier font, all font cartridges and soft fonts that we have tried work fine. Any solutions? Hewlett-Packard Finland hasn't got Windows 3.0 yet... (They also dont have any Macs, even though they have sold thousands of DeskWriters already. Marvelous support :-( )

I am also having a problem with the deskjet driver. From my understanding of the help stuff with the driver, if I label my fonts as temporary, then they will be downloaded when required. This does not seem to happen, and the only way that I can get the fonts to work is to mark them as temporary, and have them load at boot time, or through running the control panel. It appears that the driver does not download temporary fonts when they are required: doesn't seem to do any checking to see if the fonts are there at all. If anyone has had any luck with this, please e-mail me, and I will summarize if there is enough interest. My setup is win 3.0, 386 enhanced mode, deskjet, 128K Ram cartridge, HP's soft fonts, and I'm running winword, though I have the same problems with windows write. thanks, kartik ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Anant Kartik Mithal akm@cs.uoregon.edu Department of Computer Science akm@oregon.BITNET University of Oregon

Sorry to be the bearer of bad news, but (I realize this is poorly documented) the DeskJet and DeskJet Plus annot handle a "temporary" download - it's a firmware issue. When using the Windows soft font installer, you must select permanent. The confusion arises because we share the soft font installer with the Laserjet, which can do temporary downloads.
