Ah...Fellow NetLanders, could we do something to avoid the ambiguity in
the word "fonts"?  There have been innumerable postings over the past
few months where people refer to "fonts" but the context of the question
leaves the reader uncertain whether the author was referring to *screen*
fonts or downloadable (usually LaserJet PCL) *printer* soft fonts.  How
about adopting the convention that somewhere in a posting about fonts we
will make it clear which type is being discussed?
