<P>The biggest unanswered question is why <CODE>netscape communicator</CODE>
can use TrueType fonts, <CODE>ghostscript</CODE> can use the same
TrueType fonts, yet pages printed by <CODE>netscape</CODE> look nothing
like the screen.
<P>The short answer is that <CODE>netscape</CODE> generates PostScript output
with standard fonts (Helvetica and Times-Roman) instead of the
user-specified or HTML-specified fonts.  The long answer is that I 
have absolutely no idea why it forces this behavior, or if there is
a way to override it.
