An interesting problem...
I was playing around with the 8mm label stack from the Stack Ideas,
and found that, when printed with a LaserWriter, some of the text
fields did not do font substitution (i.e. Geneva was printed as
a bit-mapped Geneva), while other fields did the substitution just
fine and used the LaserWriter's built in fonts.
It seems to be related to the text stored in the fields, although
I have not been able to find a discernable pattern. (Yes, it does
change, depending on what text I have displayed in the fields!).
I was wondering if anyone had run into something similar...
I have Hypercard v1.2.1, System 4.2, and Finder 6.0 in this
environment. Oh, I had also heavily customized the aforementioned
stack, but that shouldn't have caused this...
Thanks for any help!

Font substitution will fail when two fields overlap by more than a pixel or two. I believe the same problem arises when a button is superimposed on a field. -Ron Nash Center for the Study of Language and Information Stanford University nash@csli.stanford.edu

Curiously enough, though, the problem that I'm encountering will appear unpredictably, depending on what text I'm storing in those fields. Text length does not seem to be a factor, although I haven't found any consistent pattern.
