For several weeks we used a LaserWriter II NT successfully with Word Perfect 
on an IBM AT in coexistence with various applications on a Mac SE as follows:

	------------|         |-------------|       |----------|
        |  IBM AT   |-------->| Laserwriter | Apple-| Mac SE   |
        |           |  serial |   II NT     |<------|          |
        |-----------|         |-------------| Talk  |----------|

Then, after we down-loaded fonts from another IBM program (ChiWriter),  
Word Perfect lost its ability to print on the Laserwriter.  ChiWriter on the 
IBM and all applications we've tried on the Mac continue to work.  Turning
the LaserWriter off and on fails to restore the fonts for Word Perfect.
Selecting 'printer initialization' in Word Perfect has no effect either.
While most users are happy, the IBM Word Perfect users are mad as hornets.

Can someone tell me why this has happened and what can be done to rectify
the program?  I would appreciate any ideas.
