Regarding (ii)
I found out that using the build in picture editor in Word 97, I can see
which font the offending text is set in. It turns out to be the font
Utopia, which is far as I know is a sort of Postscript font, and not a
true type font as it is supposed to be. So i seems like I have run into
a font substitution problem, I have tried resetting to default,
re-installing mathematica, and I tried changing the settings for font
substitution in the object inspector, but with no result. Heelp!
I also discovered that changing the line
TextStyle->{FontFamily->"Times",FontSize->10}
to
TextStyle->{FontFamily->"Times New Roman",FontSize->10}
got me an error from psrender. I have a hunch that this is linked to the
font substitution problem.
Any help would be greatly appriciated.
