[comp.sys.mac.apps] MathType/TeachText printing problem

ndg503@csc.anu.oz.au (10/12/90)

G'day,

I have come across an interesting problem with the documentation that
comes with MathType (both versions 2.0 and 2.11).
It happens when I open the specialized version of TeachText (TeachText-M)
and look at either of the Tutorial documents. At the beginning of the
first page of Tutorial 1, you get the following notes:

   Before you get started, let's verify you're using Teach Text-M to read
   this document, rather than a regular version of Teach Text. Look at
   this character: **. If it is a square root sign containing a dotted
   box, then all is well. If it's a diamond, or some other symbol, then
   you are not using the Teach Text-M program that we provided on this disk,
   and the rest of the tutorial is going to be impossible to understand.

Right. The problem exists that when I open Teach Text-M and llok at the
tutorial all seems ok and I see the square root sign with the dotted box
inside. But, when I print this out, all I get is the diamond and further
stuff is all over the place. I tried this on three different printers.
I reloaded the Belmont font to the printer.

Further, I took the backup copy I had of MathType 2.00 and tried the
version of Teach Text-M on that (in case the one I was previously
trying was damaged) and the results were the same.

I am using an SE-30 with 6.0.4, but 6.0.5 printer drivers (I know, it 
sounds a bit weird, but they seem to work together). Could there be an 
incompatability between Teach Text-M and 6.0.5 printer drivers?

Thanks in advance...
