I don't know if this has been mentioned before, but has anyone noticed that
LW 5.0 doesn't create the Chicago font correctly, either when downloading
to the LaserWriter or when creating a PostScript file.  The glyphs for the
characters 17-20 (command, check mark, diamond and apple) are missing, so
these symbols don't appear in the final output.  I checked LW 4.0 and it
properly creates these glyphs.

On the subject of bugs, both 4.0 and 5.0 won't print italicized Chicago either.
The 3.x series worked fine.
