Courier is not the only font so afflicted, but it seems to be >> the most important one. I have only just found your year-old MathGroup posting. I am having the same problem you describe (no boldface input cells when PRINTING under UNIX; screen appearance is fine). WRI is giving me the runaround -- pretty much insisting that I upgrade to release 3.0.2 before they'll discuss it further, and not telling me whether anyone else reported this problem. So, did you ever figure out how to fix this? If not, is there a workaround? I normally don't care about printing out notebooks at all, but I'm preparing a journal article which includes some code excerpts, and would like to produce figures with bold input.
