Help! I'm looking for solution suggestions for the following problem: Using WordStar 5.5, I've put together a document that includes some of the extended ASCII characters (Greek letters, etc) using the ALT-### method. The page preview feature shows everything looking fine, but when I print it out, i get regular ASCII characters instead. It seems as if the MSB was ignored: ALT-235 (Greek theta) prints as ASCII 105 (lower case "i"). For printing, I first redirect the output to a PostScript file and then do the printing on a laser printer. Question: Do I need to use a special font in WordStar to allow me access to these characters? Or is the problem more likely in the laser printer? If so, how do I *fix* it? Please respond via email. - Kevin Price priceke@cadlab.ecn.purdue.edu (BITNet address)
