I ran into this problem myself recently. When you use LaTeX it creates fonts from bitmaps and includes them in the PostScript file directly. When you use MacDraw or something, if you include text in the picture then it will generally NOT do this. Instead it will use a PostScript font. So if you select "GaramondBoldItalic" it will put a reference to that font in the EPSF file. But, what if your printer doesn't happen to have "GaramondBoldItalic" font? GhostScript still runs it properly because you probably have the font on-line and it knows where to look. Your printer is probably substituting a different font, which is nice I guess instead of just crashing with an error like some printers do. I suggest using MacDraw and changing the text in your diagram to something really normal and standard like Times-Roman. Let us know if it works! Maybe I'm wrong on all this. -Jon
