[comp.windows.ms] Help! : W4W Symbol fonts for HP laserjet

pekrides@images.cs.und.ac.za (Hercules Pekrides) (05/22/91)

Hi,

I am currently using word fo windows under windows ver 3.0. The symbol 
fonts for the HP laserjet printer have been installed (after much help
from newsnet users). These symbol fonts reside in a \pclfonts
subdirectory and include the files:

symbol08.pfm symbol08.sfm
symbol10.pfm symbol10.sfm
symbol12.pfm symbol12.sfm
symsub14.pfm symsub14.sfm
symsub18.pfm symsub18.sfm
symsub24.pfm symsub24.sfm

A record of where they are located is kept in the win.ini file. The
trouble is that though all symbol sizes appear on the screen (tested on
mono and VGA), only symbol font sizes of 8,10 and 12 pts get printed
on the laserjet (HPlaserjet III).

I would appreciate any suggestions or comments.

That's all that are provided. You should note that a subset, some greek
and the brackets, are available in larger points sizes that are used in
formating formulas.

The symbols fonts 14,...,24 contain only bracketsand a few special symbols,
but no 'normal' greek characters, which will be printed as very small blanks.
So long
