Lingua compatibility with FF 52 (Univers)



 Joel Lidov responded to my earlier inquiry (see below.)   His response led me
back to the Lingua Manual which indicates to me that FF 52 (univers) is indeed
supported for Lingua.

The alep and ayin I have troubles with are indeed the transliteration
symbols.  My reading of the Lingua manual (cf. p. 54, 57) indicates that FF 52
(Univers) IS supported by the HP Laserjet printer drivers for HP LJ III  which
I am using.  In fact, until recently the Lingua special characters were
printing properly, I believe.   This led me to believe that the problem was
with my system printer driver installation or something.  However, I just
discovered that the problem does not exist when  printing with FF 5 rather
than with FF 52.  Strange!!  Any other suggestions.
