I recently tried to print a Freehand-generated EPS graphic into word 5 via the insert picture menu choice. It worked well but when it printed, the C Helvetica Condensed font in the graphic reverted to Courier and print monitor claimed that there was no outline font. This was untrue and I was able to print the graphic in Freehand. I called Microsoft and they told me to first use the font in the document with some text and then make it invisible. Ok, a doable workaround (which actually did not work I gave up and remade the graphic with a font in the printer). So is this a bug? An "undocumented feature?" Or are their claims of eps compatibility "Documented Unfeatures."
