They are fine with me except that my printouts use a font that looks like I tore a page out of one of the O'Reilly books. Quite striking but I found such high-quality fonts inappropriate for correspondence. Makes the end result look a little "arrogant", which is not what I want in this particular case. I tried specifying a different font family such as Garamond, Helvet and a couple of others but I didn't see any difference either when viewing the compiled document in xdvi or when printed - HP LJ2100M, native postscript. I'm obviously not doing it right. Could any one point me to the relevant manual - or provide a brief explanation? Thanks. cga
