Hello Eric,

 Rather than a bug in the screen fonts for the DMP, is is probably how
WP60 is assigning the screen fonts that is at fault.  I had to go in and
manually edit the screen fonts also for the PS fonts of my Panasonic 2123.
To edit the fonts, use CTRL-F8 to call up the fonts dialogue box, then
Shift-F1 to call up the Font Setup dialgue box, then choose Screen Font
Mapping Table.  Highlight the printer font you want to edit in the top
box, and the bottom box will show you the screen font used.  Choose Select
Screen Font to change it.  When everything is right, select OK to save it.
... All wiyht.  Rho sritched mg kegtops awound?
