What about the other ~22 fonts >my LaserWriter II NTX knows about? Those *are* all the fonts your printer knows about. The names above refer to "font families", not typefaces. Font families are collections of typefaces, e.g. the Times family contains Times-Roman, Times-Bold, Times-Italic, and Times-BoldItalic. Have you tried to use a font on your printer with ptroff and been unsuccessful? Sherri Nichols snichols@adobe.com
