Hello!  There appears to be a bug in EZ on the DECstation -- well, not
specifically in EZ, but with the lack of certain fonts.

As a test, try starting up EZ, enabling Basic Styles, and then typing in
some text.  Then select some section of that text, and make it "Bigger"
(off of the Font menu).  Preview the result.  Then repeat this, and
preview each time -- you'll notice that some of the fonts are missing,
and are substituted with the default Andy font though the spacing is
set correctly (for multi-line selections, etc).

The same result happens if you print it out.  This appears to happen on
the DECstations, but it doesn't happen on the IBMs.  We haven't checked
it on the Suns yet.
