|
<P>The biggest unanswered question is why <CODE>netscape communicator</CODE>
|
|
can use TrueType fonts, <CODE>ghostscript</CODE> can use the same
|
|
TrueType fonts, yet pages printed by <CODE>netscape</CODE> look nothing
|
|
like the screen.
|
|
<P>The short answer is that <CODE>netscape</CODE> generates PostScript output
|
|
with standard fonts (Helvetica and Times-Roman) instead of the
|
|
user-specified or HTML-specified fonts. The long answer is that I
|
|
have absolutely no idea why it forces this behavior, or if there is
|
|
a way to override it.
