Well, I got lots of email on this subject, and I thank everyone for it. The general idea was that the printer sets a priority on buffering incoming text over soft fonts. When the text buffer needed exceeds the space available in memory, then the fonts get dumped. The solution is definitely a RAM expansion, if not a font cartridge. An addition of 2 Meg was suggested (instead of 1 Meg) in order to obtain compatibility with certain cartridges which would require it. Other suggestions included having WP load the fonts selectively rather than having them flagged as permanent in the printer definition; that helps but does not always cure it. The office will be purchasing a Pacific 2 Meg board for $199 (from Elek-Tek, a mail-order outfit with showrooms in the Chicago area). Thanks again for all the help people provided. -- /////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// / Todd Davis INTERNET: trd10523@uxa.cso.uiuc.edu / / Computer Engineering Student COORDINATES: 40 06' 47" N / 88 13' 35 W / / University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign / ///////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
