[comp.sys.ibm.pc] Fonts for ljII

nbeck@weber.ucsd.edu (Nathaniel Beck) (05/29/90)

I just acquired my first LaserJetII and am looking for a source of
pd symbol fonts for mathematical word processing (using Word 5). I
have the HP Times-Roman/Helevetica font set but the cost of
additional downloadable fonts from HP seems excessive. Are there
either PD or shareware downloadable fonts out there in the PC world
(there seem to be tons in the MAC world).

Thanks in advance

I suggest you read some of the PC magazines.  In any case, you might
buy a font cartridge.  The collection cartridges contain from 65 to
172 fonts.  They are made by HP, IQ engineering, Pacific Page and
various possibly-trustworthy others.

The collection cartridges have quite a selection and save you time
required to download fonts (plus possibly the extra printer memory
required to download into).  The cartridges typically cost $200-300
mailorder.
