Preliminary experimenting has uncovered one annoyance with downloadable
fonts on the LaserJet Plus: there is no general way to specify vertical
spacing. The "height" parameter in the font descriptor apparently exists
solely for the old-style font selection by attribute; it has no effect on
actual vertical spacing. And the vertical-line-spacing control sequences
think in 48ths of an inch, which is (a) bizarre, and (b) unsuited to exact
specification of vertical spacing on a 300/inch printer. Looks like one
would have to use cursor control to position lines properly with a font
using an unusual line spacing. What an annoyance. (HP, are you listening?)

Sigh, my mistake, it is possible to set unusual line spacings to high
resolution on the LJ and LJ+ -- the documentation just doesn't make it
particularly obvious.
