IMAC problem

[Patricia L. Zody]

Dear Seelangers,

If you could help with the problem
described below, I would be very grateful.

Thank you, Pat Zody

********************

The problem is that after moving documents and fronts from a PowerMac 7200
to a new iMac, some of the fonts appear correctly on the screen but do not
print properly on a PostScript laser printer.

The original computer (PowerMac 7200/120 if memory serves) was running
system 8.0, LaserWriter driver 8.4.3 and MS Word 6.0.1.  The fonts that
were transferred were bitmap fonts, there were no printer components for
these fonts.  The new computer is an iMac 350Mhz with 128Mb ram,
LaserWriter 8.4.3 (downgraded from 8.7)  running MS Office 98 and trying to
print to any number of postscript laserwriters.  When I was setting up the
iMac I had installed the Russian and other Slavic sounding language kits
from System 9.  However the Prof indicated that this would change how she
worked and the keyboard mapping of characters and asked me to remove the
language kits.  I removed them using the custom remove option of the OS 9
installer.  I wouldn't expect that any of the problems were caused by this
or am I wrong?

One of the more interesting caveats that I encountered was that if I copy
text from one of the troubled documents and paste it into another
application, say Stickies, the text no longer appears on screen as it did
while the text was in word.  It has minor character variations compared to
the characters looking correct in Word.  However, the variations do not
match what is printed from Word.  Additionally, if I print the text from
Stickies the printout has character changes when compared to the text that
is shown in Stickies and is different from the text printed from Word.
