- To Itamar, John, Ken, Mervyn, and Paul: mwaah!, and thanks.
- This notabene list thing is damn nice, thanks to the
- people on it.
-
- You'd never think that getting a pro-font cartridge in hpl laser to
- cough up a few diacriticals in Times Roman would be so hard.
-
- They print fine in Courier. I could sneak in a call to that font
- for the em-dash (the recent letters on this list made me envious
- of such a nicety), but for the proportional Times Roman, no dice.
- I have been advised, after sweating with the thing for many hours,
- and comparing the truly bizarre relationships of a screen version,
- a printd file printed to disk, and hard-copy, to cool my jets and
- simply wait for Lingua, whose soft fonts even in English will take
- care of these things, and I can pitch the cartridge (no pun intended).
-
- Again, thanks to all those who responded so quickly--one day
- I'll have a _real_ emergency, and it's nice to know so much
- willing help is out there.
