Are you sure that the fonts corresponding to the size or treatment (i.e.
italic) you are selecting are installed on the printer?  It is also important
that the symbol sets match, since symbol set is one of the highest priority
items in the font selection scheme.  For example, if the current font selection
is for 12 point using the Roman 8 set, and you change only the size to 30 point
by a PCL command, and if your 30 point font contains only the ASCII symbol set
to save space, it would not be selected.  When selecting a font it is a good
idea to specify all characteristics of the font you want, to assure that it
will really be selected.
