In his note offering to mail the font, Greg says he's not sure
the character widths are the same as the built-in font. I generated
the font using a highly flexible font editor called ResEdit! (which
kept crashing & trashing my work files...) so the widths should be
exaclty the same as the original. However I have noticed that my wp
(MacAuthor - plug for UK software) doesn't always seem to succeed in 
keeping the right margin aligned - but this happens with the orignal
font too. The problem usually occurs when differnet styles or sub/super
scripting is used on a line. This would seem to suggest that the font
width tables supplied are not correct... any other suggestions? anybody
out there got a new copy of the laser fonts with the problem fixed?

Nigel.
