Thanks, I tried both the method in http://www.via.ecp.fr/~remi/linux/sottf/sottf_en.php3 and the SPADMIN method. Both had the same problem (no X in Arial Bold and messed up equals and dashes in all Arial and Verdana faces) when printing. Everything looks fine in the display, in print preview and when I create a PDF using ps2pdf.
