A clarification of Sonja's post about problems printing laser fonts on the
ImageWriter II:
In article <90020.204427SEK@PSUVM.BITNET>, Sonja Kueppers <SEK@PSUVM.psu.edu>
says:

>-Sonja
The problem occurred with laser fonts that do not have standard bitmap font
equivalents. Thus, Palatino and Avant Garde both overlap boldfaced letters
(Avant Garde particularly badly), but Helvetica does not.
Presumably this is because the screen (bitmap) font rendering of Helvetica
is designed to expand in width when the Boldface attribute is applied.
