Printing is unsuccessful with both $DefaultFont and with Times. The error is Undefined and the OffendingCommand is findfont (BTW, I presume the definition should have curly braces/brackets - your e-mail had a strange character combination in the PS code). I do not know PS well enough to pinpoint the problem. I have also retyped the contents of the PS additions (in case some invisible characters would have been there), to no avail. Did (and/or how) you test the PS modification yourself? If so, did you get it to work? Tero
