OK, I'm a new PC user, and I just got MS Word for Win 2.0.
I also have an NEC P5200 24pin dot matrix printer.

I am a *tad* confused about screen fonts, printer fonts, and truetype 
fonts.  

What seems to be happening is this:
Any truetype font (ie: Courier New) that my printer has a built-in font
for (ie: NEC Courier), gets automatically made into a printer font.
In other words, I am unable to print out any truetype fonts that my
printer has similar built-in fonts for!

Substituting truetype fonts with priter fonts might be a good idea in
theory, since printer fonts will probably be nicer, but my printer fonts
only go up to 18point, so any truetype font over 18 becomes a bitmapped
font and is all pixelized and ugly (even on my screen).

So, what I want to be able to do is to use truetype fonts without 
Word 2.0 second-guessing what font I really want to use.

A friend of mine thinks it's the printer driver's fault.  I'm using
the NEC P5200 printer driver V1.0.

Any takers?
