- A Happy New Year to all.
-
- If this topic has been covered already, my apologies: but I'm not aware
- that it has been.
-
- In early December, we in the English department here managed to hook up
- four IBM-type computers to the department's AppleLaser NTR printer,
- which is already handling a few MacIntoshes over the AppleTalk
- connection. The IBMs are connected in daisy-chain fashion to the
- parallel port. In this mode the AppleLaser emulates an HP II, and the
- only typefaces available, supposedly, are Courier and the Line printer.
- NOTE: since we are not connected to the serial port, we do *NOT* have
- PostScript available. Everything is working well; the only problem is
- the limitation on Font Families.
-
- Despite this supposed
- limitation, the Write wordprocessor which comes with Windows
- prints in a wide variety of fonts in sizes from 8 to 72 points.
- Arial and Times CG are the fonts
- I'm interested in.
-
- Does anyone know how to set up my printer driver so I can make use of
- the same wide variety of fonts? I've tried defining the printer as an
- HP III and as an AppleLaser NTX, but neither of those definitions works.
-
- It's annoying to see that the Windows wordprocessor has the full range
- of fonts available while NotaBene does not.
