In response to Mike Dahmus' request for information about how to get a variety of font sizes, I want to share with this list what I am currently using. It might prove useful. I'm working with a PS/2 model 50, printing on a HP LaserJet, series II. The fonts and sizes were much too limited. We now have a cartridge called Pacific Page which plugs right into the printer (requries 2 MB of total laser printer memory). Essentially turned my LaserJet into a Postscript printer, opening up a whole new world in terms of using PageMaker. I can now get Courier, Dutch, Swiss, Geometric, Bookman, Century Schoolbook, Panatino, Chancery, Zapf and Symbols, in sizes ranging from 4 pt. to 72 pt. Lots of flexibility. It takes a little bit longer to print, but it's worth it. If anyone wants more information, write to me directly at RSIMS@Bucknell.
