What is the right way of doing this? To add to the reply by another poster, you need to make sure that your system has a symbol font that your printer can use. For example, I use ATM, which provides both screen and sprinter with a symbol font, and the equation editor works properly. Prior to installing ATM, I could use the equation editor when printing to my 9-pin epson (for which windows generated the fonts as bitmaps), but not to my Deskjet (which used built-in/cartridge/downloaded fonts). kartik -- Anant Kartik Mithal akm@cs.uoregon.edu Network Manager, (503)346-4408 (msgs) Department of Computer Science, (503)346-3989 (direct) University of Oregon, Eugene, OR 97403-1202 (503)346-3660 (fax)
