- Well having multiple fonts might be something to do it. 3 fonts all
- called "MAGENTA.NLQ", "CYAN.NLQ", etc. (course each "MAGENTA"'d have to
- be on a seperate disk, etc.) From there insert the "MAGENTA" disk, in
- which all fonts that need to print magenta have characters in them and
- print. Then insert the "CYAN" disk (which has again all the colors
- you're going to print, but only "CYAN", "PURPLE", and "GREEN", and maybe
- more have actual characters. Everything else has blank characters (no
- dots, but the proportional widths of each character remainds..)
-
- If you want to print black (with only three colors printing, that is)
- you'd have data in the "BLACK.NLQ" files on all 3 disks.
-
- Get it? That was pretty difficult to describe. To sum it up you
- have 3 disks, each with about 9 fonts on them. All 3 disks LOOK
- identical (same font files on them. All the "CYAN" files would have the
- same sector length, ditto w/ the other 8 fonts), but when the fonts are
- printed, sometimes they print out onto the page and sometimes they dont.

- Hey.. how about 24-pin printer compatibility!? ;)
