If you call HP, they will send you, free of charge, a document
describing the font naming conventions and formats for downloadable
fonts for the LaserJet & LJ II printers. I got this doc before the
DeskJet, IIP, or III came out, but I'd assume it has been updated to
include these.
Sorry, I don't have the phone number in front of me, but it was their
800 technical or customer support number -- ask for the Font
Description package, I think. They were knowledgeable when I called,
i.e. I called asking "Do you have anything you can send me about font
formats?" and they said, "Oh, you mean our
<Insert_beaurocratic_title_here> document. It's on the way." And
less than a week later, it arrived.
Not that great a package, but it was helpful in patching up a few
fonts manually and for fixing a font whose headers exploded.
