Hello world, PageMaker 4.0 is having difficulty importing CGM or HPGL from
DrawPerfect (my drawing package of choice).  Neither Aldus nor WordPerfect
has a good answer to the problem of fonts changing size and type during
conversion.  I had a wonderfull (if you can call it that) conversation with
a DrawPerfect support clerk who suggested I write their testing group for
an answer when I couldn't understand who these "thems" were when DP exported
a file to CGM format.  Well, text shrinks and appears differently in full
page or close-up in PageMaker, and even another font out of the PostScript
printer.  Need more details - I'll supply them -- Help please.
