- I've had some problems with the above combination:
- (Stylewriter driver is version 7.2.2)
-
- -0- Under System 7 on a Powerbook, horizontally scaled text displays
- text as normal width chars all jumbled. On System 6 machines it displays OK.
-
- -0- When printing on a Stylewriter it takes over 20 minutes to print a
- page of A4 text. And people complain about 1 minute printing times!
- I believe this is because of using scaled text.
-
- I don't have good access to the equipment so I haven't been able to experiment
- with the setup. But I would like a solution to the printing problem as I'll
- have to be using it again soon. So,
-
- If I don't use TT will that help?
- Does Adobe Type Manager overcome this problem?
- I might be able to use a Deskwriter instead. Does this exhibit the
- same problem?
-
- Please, any help would be greatly appreciated. I could stop using horizontal
- scaling, but I find it very usefull for fitting text blocks into a given
- space. I believe Pagemaker 4.2 has this feature. Would it also have this
- printing problem?
-
- Thanks in advance,
- Steve Law
