Yes - they can be purchased directly from SoftLogic, or a dealer can
purchase at discount and sell at retail.  Clip art (both mono and color)
is also available, in DEGAS format.  Included are newer printer drivers,
which require PP version 1.02 to execute properly.

I don't believe so, since the existing fonts are drawn on the output page,
and not printed as characters.

One of the newer postscript drivers includes screen fonts for fonts which
exist in the laserprinter's local memory, and a driver which uses the
correct commands to invoke the resident fonts.  I do not believe there is
support WITHIN PUBLISHING PARTNER for downloading of fonts, but you might
be able to insert a "header" to the file which would give postscript commands
to remap a font you had already loaded to an existing font, which would then
be called by your PP-generated postscript output file.

Does it still show the "text overflowed" icon at the bottom of the column?
If yes, have you tried changing the point size of the entire column until it
all fits?  I do not recall any specific problems here, so this is the approach
I would take in investigating the issue.
