    Some examples:

    Calaendon 701 SWA (TrueType)
    Century 702 Schoolbook SWA Italic (TrueType)
    More Wingbats SWM (TrueType)

    The printer is a GCC Elite XL-40, running in postscript mode. This
    printer is GCC's current top of the line printer (and it is very
    nice... <g>)

    I've been using post script printers with windows/word for many years
    now, and not had problems before selecting fonts. Word thinks there is
    something 'special' about these fonts, though I don't see what. It
    isn't that the fonts are unusable--it is just that they are a PITA to
    select as you have to go through the menu to get to them--the
    quickchooser won't do them...

    As to the Epson references... I've seen taht one, and seen several
    other printer manul references, though all seem to be only a font
    listing for a printer.
