Times SC fonts

[Richard Steenis]

I have not tried printing the file that has the font errors.  In checking the
fonts used in the file, it shows 'UNKNOWN' for the face name and style
associated with the fonts tirsc 8 pt and 10 pt that generated the
errors.  Is there
a way to specify a font substitution?

Thanks,
Richard
