I remember seeing many comments about problems with LaserWriter 3.1 back in
June.  Now we have finally decided to try it out on our Laserwriter, with
very poor results.  Using MacDraw on a Mac+ System3.2/Finder5.3,
we couldn't get bold or italic print in Helvetica (with font subst.
& smoothing off).  Also, a plot from a BASIC program simply kept giving bombs.

Can anyone shed some light on this?
