First of all, apologies for the cross posting but I don't know the
best place to ask this question.

My father-in-law, who is an architect, uses Microsoft Works on a 286PC
clone (probably an Apricot) and a HP Deskjet printer. Everything was
fine until he bought some plug--in cartridges with extra fonts for the
printer.

Problem is: how to get the software to recognise the existence of
these extra fonts? I presume the solution is to load another printer
driver but I have no idea which one (there are about 50 on the setup
disk which came with the printer and the manuals are less than helpful).

The font cartridges are for Times and Helvetica fonts.

Any help with this problem would be much appreciated. I don't know
much about MSDOS and I don't normally read these groups so an Email
reply would be appreciated.

Thanks in advance

Pete
