- How in the world is this a non Apple II question? With GS/OS Sys6 it's
- perfectly feasable to ask a question about Mac fonts and HFS disks.
- And he did mention the System 6 LaserWriter driver -- there is such a
- beast you know.
-
- As far as answereing the question. No, you can use TT fonts in
- programs for the screen if you have Pointless, but the LaserWriter
- driver doesn't support downloading fonts to the printer as far as I know.
