Adobe Garamond font in bold doesn't distill properly

[Dov Isaacs]

Exactly which fonts were you using? The Type 1 version of Adobe Garamond
or the OpenType version of Adobe Garamond (Adobe Garamond Pro)? And do you
actually have these fonts installed on your system (as opposed to some of
them being "printer resident fonts")?
