Perhaps could could therefore advise me? - I have installed the GhostScript
packages you are using and they have work fine ..until I tried to print out
the .PS documentation files from the SoftQuad HoTMetaL (HTML editor) which
I hope to use to create Mosaic compatible pages. It prints but the font it
uses has something wrong with its character spacing so all the characters
overlap to some extent making it impossible to read. Also some characters
seem to missing entirely.

Not being familar with PS formats, is there anyway I can simply force a more
suitable font to be used via Windows on my LJII or LJII?

Many Thanks
