As I have personally never seen a GX font, I don't know if they look any
different or not.  They would not be labled as "QuickDraw" or
"Substitution".  I expect the would look like TrueType Fonts.  Maybe the
QuickDraw GX convertion of fonts would give them a new Icon, maybe not.


I think your HP Driver would be doing whatever is nessisary to print the
TrueType fonts onto the QuickDraw Printer.
