Just as a comment on this issue, I have been using ProWrite with an Epson
LQ printer with 9 typefaces. With a PD Epson LQ printer driver from Wolf
Faust in Germany, I was able to select the typeface from the ProWrite print
requester. I used proportional fonts by composing a document in 8 x 10
page size, then reformatting the page to 12.5 x 10 and printing. The right
margin changed from the ProWrite screen, but it holds all the tabs and
indents etc. I have just recently switched to a TI microlaser and I use
the same technique with ProWrite and the HP proportional fonts and I get
quick, proportional book-quality letters from ProWrite. I still have to
select the typeface at the printer because the printer driver I have does
not support the printer font #. I am now on the lookout for an HP LJII
driver that does support typeface changes. Just so you know, someone is
doing it this way.
