Wait, if I print out using a standard resident Postscript font like
Times I am not sending the screen font to the printer anyway.  His 
problem is that he didn't read every single word of the mediocre
documentation.  If he had he would know to change the pitch to 15
before printing to Postscript from excellence!.  That is the cause
of the aspect ratio problem on his printouts.  You are correct, however,
in pointing out that you can substitute fonts as long as the proper metric
is also in the fonts directory.
