Hi all,

I've got a big problem with printing on my Personal Laswewriter LS. Sometimes
the LS doesn't print Truetype fonts in 300dpi. I only can get something like
screen resolution. And the problem only affects rotated text.

When I create  rotated text in a drawing program or y-axis labels in IGOR the
programs that generated the text can print it fine. But when I copy/paste or
export/import it to a text processor (Word, Framemaker) I get 72dpi in print.
This happens under System 6.07 and 7.0. It seems to be nonexistent on
postscript printers.

Every help is welcome, cause at the moment we do cut/paste with scissors and
glue. If I can't find a solution to that problem Macs are definitely dead at
this place, cause Windows has no problems with that kind of stuff.

Thanx in advance, Michael Bode.
