- I have a copy of DeScribe BoldGold (3.0); using an NEC Silentwriter
- 95, a PostScript device, OS2 2.0 GA release.
-
- This combination appears to be rasterizing rather than downloading
- fonts. It is behaving okay with the "normal" set of fonts, but not
- with other Type 1 fonts. They display correctly, but are *not*
- printing correctly: they appear as bit-mapped graphics = ugly.
-
- Is this normal? Is it a function of OS/2's printer driver? Is a more
- recent PostScript driver available? (And rhetorically, why would
- someone design a driver in such a manner?)
-
- My experience to date with OS/2 & printing has been with WordPerfect
- 5.1, both DOS and Windoze, relying upon their own resources for
- printing via the null driver.
