GhostPCL fonts question

[Fairlight]

Really not my area of expertise.  I've not dealt with the programme in
question, so I really can't be of any practical help without doing
research, sorry.

Of all the things you can do with filePro (or indeed, with computers in
general), 'printing' is arguably the one thing I try the hardest to avoid,
and with which I have the least experience.  I can if I really have to, but
I otherwise dodge it where possible.  It's too messy and finnicky for my
tastes.

Your odds are far better with Brian or Jim, I should think.
