When I print it to any PS printer, the font in the graphic changes to Courier, but the same font used for text in the document prints correctly. Where's the mix-up? I'm in Mac 9.2. Are you sure it's really the same font, not just one with a similar name or design? Is it possible that a style (bold, italic, &c.) was applied to the version in the Illustrator file, that's actually calling for an additional font you don't have available -- or that doesn't really exist? (The latter rarely occurs with Adobe applications, as they look for fonts themselves rather than relying on the OS, but may still be worth checking.) If you use XPress's "Collect for Output" command to generate a report, is the misbehaving font listed under Picture Fonts for the graphic, and is its name identical to the one listed in Document Fonts? What format (compatible version of AI) is the EPSF you're importing, and what level of PS? (XPress is easily confused by anything beyond Level 1.) --Odysseus
