Bruce, Thanks for the reply. I suspected that also. I've tried over fifty
different fonts and none printed. The glitch is the font is only
temporarily active by loading the FOND and (FONT) resources.  These temp
fonts print to any window and gWorld in any font style but not to the
printer as Geneva is substituted.. All normal active fonts print ok. Two
other interesting observations... The normal substitution font for a PS
printer is Courier not Geneva. One font I tried was a specialty font with
very wide characters, when printed it was in Geneva but had the character
spacing of the specialty font. I'm wondering if Geneva is substituted
because it is the default application font. Does anybody know how to make a
different font the application font through FB.


<<The font prints to the screen just fine but if I do a ROUTE
_toPrinter it prints in Geneva font instead.>>

I wonder if there is some kind of font number conflict with a font that is
resident in the printer?
