- I'm finding a problem with my StyleWriter and Pointless. It seems when I
- use different styles, such as Shadow, Bold etc. I get unusual results.
- One
- time I typed "TrueLies" with the "True" in Bold and "Lies" in both Bold
- and Shadow there was a large gap between the different styles, even when
- I
- typed them as one word. I used the Times TrueType font with this. Bold
- face typed stuff in TrueType doesn't look that much different from
- regular
- faced stuff. All of this has been tried with AppleWorks GS,
- GraphicWrither
- III, and WordWorks Pro with the same results. These things turn up OK on
- an ImageWriter II, but not my StyleWriter. I've got a ROM 3 GS, with 5
- megs of memory so it's not likely to be a memory problem. Any help would
- be appreciated, and if it's a bug in the StyleWriter driver a fix would
- be
- appreciated. Also being able to print in "Landscape" would be an
- important
- addition to the next version of the StyleWriter drivers.
