SUMMARY
=======

According to Xerox, some of the Adobe Plus Pack soft fonts do not print
correctly from Ventura for Windows to a PostScript printer that has the same
internal printer fonts.

The problem can be corrected by removing the reference to the Adobe Plus Pack
soft fonts in the WIN.INI file. Use the internal printer fonts associated with
the installed PostScript printer driver.
