Has anyone out there had any experience with using the serial printer
driver with MS Word 3.01. The French department has a Qume Letter Pro
and is using the serial driver, but the on-screen font is always Geneva,
even thought he printer result is effectively mono-spaced. The problem
this causes is that if they create a document and use multiple spaces
to align text in some way, when the document is printed, the alignment
is lost because the printer's "spaces" are a lot than Geneva spaces. My
question is this: Does anyone know how to patch the serial driver that
comes with word to make to make it use Monaco or Courier on screen rather
than Geneva. As it is now, even if you select Monaco, the font on screen
is still displayed as Geneva. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
