- I'm not a Mac Guru, but here's some information.
-
- In general, you should convert the Mac fonts for use in PageStream. When
- you print your PageStream document, the fonts will be included with the
- PostScript file.
-
- Yes, you could import into PageMaker, but that is not necessary. The
- PostScript file from PageStream contains all that is needed to print on any
- PostScript printer. So, if you can just "copy" the file to the printer, it
- should print correctly.
