And sorry, I change it at the other end, because unfortunately I can't get Utopia to work there, the installation at work is more recent and `put' (ps Utopia) is next to impossible to install and make work. Fortunately the home system is about 5 years old (with upgrades to unstable) and utopia is still available. > > Also I dont have a font family called "put".

I'll give that a go, it's an idea to work on. Never thought of it, thanks. BTW with regard to Utopia, it relates to a theme I can't get out of my head, that the Golden Age is over. Good working programmes are `improved' beyond necessity. (I posted a lament on this about 6 months ago, and only got one response). In the case of Utopia, it used to come with tetex-extra, but since some licensing matter cam up, it is not standard issue. It's rumoured to be used by the fourier-Gutenberg package, but you still need to get it somewhere else, like http://www.tug.org/tex-archive/fonts/utopia/ but I can't get them to be recognised, even following the instructions in http://www.ctan.org/installationadvice/#installationguidelines?action=/index.html and using updmap. But I digress. The fix so far is to substitute for `fi' f\hspace{0mm}i . Neat? Well it works. Typical phrase: 'Supply and fit in your Office. Final service call'.
