Re: [IUG] printing issues with diacritics in pocket labels

[Bob Rasmussen <ras at anzio dot com>]

If you print via "attached, text mode" you don't have access to all the 
diacritics.

If you print via "attached, graphics mode", you can get some diacritics 
(the Latin1 set) but not all. Also, Millennium gives you minimal 
formatting control.

If you print via Workstation JetDirect, feeding into Print Wizard, you can 
get ALL diacritics, Russian, CJK, etc., and control the layout.
