Thanks. I've never used the OS/2 print API. I should read up on it so
I know how this works. When I wrote ReJet (which was DOS) I had to
embed the soft fonts directly into the print stream, but it makes sense
that the OS/2 driver would do this.

Hmm. First I mark the text and choose Edit -> Style to change the font
for the selected text. EPM puts the necessary info into the file's
Extended Attributes.

Then I click on Print. The Options button shows that I have WYSIWYG
selected.

I checked the printer driver Properties and found "no soft fonts
installed" and "512KB memory". I ran the memory up to the printer's
installed 4.5MB (weird, my full page graphics all print okay with it set
on 512KB), then tried printing again but still got Courier. Am I
supposed to first download the soft fonts to the printer and make them
permanent? (Where's my PCL manual and my copy of ReJet . . .)

What have I missed?
