 I'm posting this to see if anyone has had a similar problem. Our
in-house consultants are working on it, and I don't want to step
on their toes, but if anyone has a solution, I'd appreciate it.

We are saving Macdraw graphics files to Postscript using clover-F,
then loading them to a Pyramid 90-x running unix with Kermit,
then lpr to a laserwriter connected to the pyramid. (Doing this
because we can't afford our own laser.) Things are OK except we
can't get any font but Courier: the line graphics are
fine but it seems to ignore the font calls in the postscript.
I'm a publications world person, not a computer worlder, so
phrase responses accordingly: i.e., assume I know nothing!
Any ideas on what the problem could be? Thanks. (E-mail to
maslak@sri-unix.arpa, please.)
