When I try to hardcopy a message  TEDIT.PRESS.HARDCOPY is called, even though the LAFITEHARDCOPYFONT is MODERN and I have LISPPRINT': as the second entry on DEFAULTPRINTINGHOST.'

'
It is my opinion that it is a misfeature if you break on trying to print a file with interpress fonts when you have an interpress printer on your defaultprintinghost list.  If this is what it is supposed to do, I would suggest it isn''t what it SHOULD be supposed to do.'

JDS': I''m declining this one for the time being.  I''d be willing to see the press code try to coerce fonts to PRESS fonts, but I think it''s unreasonable for TEdit to be expected to keep track of everything you might conceivably want.'
