I'd like to dump the Postscript fonts along with my document so that I can print the document on a Postscript printer at school. I browsed through the on-line documentation and didn't find the references needed. When I try the 'chosen printer/Include Fonts' option it remains un-highlighted so I can't invoke it. Thanks, Shane
