Greetings,

A quick mail on hopefully a known (fixable) problem.

This afternoon I was attempting to print out a document to my laserdirect
(Canon LPB-4) and when it reached the final page my machine locked up!

No error, nothing ... so I tried it again and the same thing, complete lock
up.

Having seen similar problems with a dodgy font I tried printing the diagram
used in the final page from !Draw and you've guessed it ... BARF!

So, what was causing this?
Well the drawfile used the Homerton font (as found in RO3.10) and when I 
replaced this with a SwissB substitute it then printed ok.

What bugs me is that Homerton is part of Risc OS 3.10 and shouldn't do this
or is there a yummy bug in CCs printer driver?

Does anyone know the latest version?
I think I've got v.2.05 (could be wrong though)


Cheers for your help (in advance) ;-)


Jayce.
