Executor should try to access Garamond as:

	Garamond-Light
	Garamond-Bold
	Garamond-LightItalic
and	Garamond-BoldItalic

for regular, emboldened, italicized and both emboldened and italicized
text.  If your printer doesn't use those names exactly then a mapping
between those names and the names that your printer uses is necessary.

Someone posted an article that described how to adjust font name
mappings, but I believe the adjustment was for GhostScript.  I'm not
sure how to make such adjustments directly with a PostScript printer.
