Steven,
the DeskJet drivers you refer to will basically give me
screen-resolution graphic dumps, no? What I meant was more along the lines
of a program which knows about the DeskJet's internal fonts and uses them
to their full extent. For example, WprdPerfect 5.0 on the PC knows about
the LaserJet's various font cartridges, its font width tables etc. so even
though you don't see the actual font onscreen, text placement and line
breaks will be the same as on the printed page. The document will print out
using the 300 DPI cartridge fonts. I'm hoping for that kind of support for
the Deskjet.
Of course, if the word processor also excels at mixing bitmap fonts
and graphics, so much the better. <wink>
Blaq!
