other fonts. You may be able to add the necessary fonts to your printer (see

printer that has the fonts you want. If you have a LaserWriter printer, you
can turn off Font Substitution in the Page Setup dialog box.
See the Macintosh Reference book for general information about printing
documents. See your printer manual for more information about your
printer’s features or problems with the printed output.
