First of all, this is a Microsoft Word for DOS question, but I figured that some of you Windows Word users might remember DOS :-). Also I read the FAQ on comp.periphs.printers but didn't find the answer. I have also read books on WORD, including the manual. I am trying to use Word 5.x for DOS with an HP-compatible laser printer. The printer only has two resident type faces and only in two sizes, something like courier and elite, 10 and 12 point. So I guess its compatible with an HPLJ2 or something. But it does have a slot for a font cartridge. Since I told WORD (during installation) that I am using an HPLJII printer, it only gives me those two choices for fonts. I want more (but it doesn't have to be much more). So I want to buy a font cartridge. All I want is one or two faces, with a couple of options for size, with at least an 18 point size and preferably up to 24 or so. Now I know I could get a postscript font cartridge, but I doubt the printer has enough memory. I also could get into downloading fonts, but again I think the printer's memory is extreamly limited. So here are the questions: After I install the font cartridge: how do I tell WORD that this is no longer just a simple HPLJII, but rather, an upgraded model? Can anyone recommend a font cartridge? If I were to use downloadable fonts, how would I make WORD aware of these? Thanks in advance !!! ^G^G^G -- Chris Kushmerick kushmer@bnlux1.bnl.gov --I found my niche in life, I just didn't fit in.
