- I am looking for a program (either shareware or commercial) which will
- allow me to automatically download a set of postscript fonts to my
- LaserWriter upon each startup. Ideally the fonts to be downloaded could
- be specified by being in a special folder or perhaps in a file.
-
- I know about the LaserWriter Font Utility but it requires manual intervention.
-
- I am using Textures (i.e. TeX) which can require 20 or more PS fonts to be
- downloaded with each printing. Since I know what fonts I need for a particular
- document (like my thesis) I would like to speed up my printing and download
- the fonts permanently at the start of each day. Since my printer has 6Meg of
- RAM memory usuage in not a concern.
-
- Any help would be greatly appreciated.
-
- Thanks
