Some files containing Symbol, Greek and possibly some others
will print correctly if spooled directly to a laserwriter or created
with 'command f' and sent via a serial line to a laserwriter
but when spooling to lwsrv some of the characters are printed
incorrectly - My font file has 'Symbol' and '|______Symbol'
in it -...
suggestions, solutions, hints?
Thanks,
hurf sheldon

Characters with the 8th bit set need to be quoted before sending them off to the laserwriter. Someone (?) posted a patch for this not too long ago. I may still have my copy if no one comes forward to claim the honor of the patch... --John -------------------------------------------------------------------------- John L.
