- It sounds very much as if there are no fonts available for Lingua to
- download to your printer. Wasn't there a note on the list a while ago
- that the DeskJet 500 fonts are not yet ready? This could be your
- problem: the printer driver tells the DJ 500 to use the (unavailable)
- proportional Times Roman and Greek or Hebrew fonts, the printer
- doesn't find them and substitutes the closest internal font it can
- find. The result is a print job wherein monospaced fonts are
- substituted for proportionally spaced fonts, and the right margin gets
- overrun. The high ASCII bytes used for many of the Greek and Hebrew
- character codes would also show up as strange gibberish.
