I just got a message from matthew@pencom.com (Matthew D. Waters)
with a bunch of .ps files. 
They were displayed on the screen with overlapping text such that I
couldn't read anything. I assume it is a font problem, since I
had encountered this with my own files before.
Can this be fixed? E.G. can the printing device be forced to use fonts of 
the same size? The way it is right now it is a disaster for "interpersonal  
computing".
