Quentin,
My guess is that Tech Support may be the best resource for this one. I
can't "feel your pain" here, because I don't seem to have Times or
Palatino installed.
Good luck!

Hi All,
Well I've confused myself again. : )
It seems (now) that if in v9 I specify "Times New Roman" and "Palatino
Linotype", I will get those fonts.
Put if I specify "Times" or "Palatino", they won't work (and SAS will
roll-over to a default).
The difference between Times and Times New Roman is small, but the
difference between Palatino and Palatino Linotype is larger.
As far as I can tell, these are both True Type fonts (?).
So I guess my questions are:
1. Is it not possible to get SAS to use the (plain old) Times and
Palatino?
2. How can I figure out which font names SAS likes/dislikes?
Thanks again,
--Quentin
