- This has *got* to be the most-asked question about a Microsoft product in
- all of net.land. (Not the issue of printing to a file, but the one of
- fonts for Equation Editor.)
-
- Can someone from Microsoft who reads this newsgroup state whether this will
- finally be fixed in WfW 2.0c, and if not **WHY NOT**?
-
- Try this: (assuming that you're running Windows 3.1, and you're using a
- standard printer PCL printer driver (there are updates available for HPPCL
- but they shouldn't affect this problem)
-
- 1. Using MAIN -> CONTROL PANEL -> FONTS, delete the MT EXTRA and FENCES
- fonts (of all flavors). DO NOT check the box which offers to delete
- the font files.
-
- 2. From the FONTS dialog select ADD, then select and add the MT EXTRA
- and FENCES TrueType fonts.
-
- 3. Reboot (just to be sure).
-
- And no, I haven't tried to output an equation image to a print file, but
- the symptom you cited matches exactly problems which are fixed by this
- procedure.
