Another multi-font cartridge to consider is the HP ProCollection. This
cartridge has fonts for Courier, LinePrinter, Times Roman, Helvetica,
Gothic, and elite in regular, bold, and italic. Sizes vary depending on
font, but all are available in 8, 10, and 12. Some go to 14, one goes down
to 3.

I bought this thing for $250. The windows driver for the Z cartrige works
for the fonts which are in the Z, and a full ProCollection driver for
windows is promised for the near future. The fonts are perfect (as HP's
usually are) in appearance. Highly recommended.

[information about the multifont Pacific Data cartridge for the
HP LJ II deleted]

1. Has anyone seen and compared the print quality to comparable HP
soft and cartridge fonts and to other soft fonts such as Bitstream?

2. What is Pacific Data's address?

3. Does Word Perfect have a driver for this cartridge yet?

.  How does it compare to other multi-font cartridges?

4. Has anyone one heard about a multi-font cartridge specifically
for Word Perfect, marketed by HP?

[comments about the HP Procollection font cartridge]

Have looked at this one a little. Good combination of fixed pitch and propor
proportional pitch fonts. However, appears to have little or no line
drawing characters in the symbol sets. A problem if you have line
draw stuff done in 12 pitch (HP LJ II only has line draw in 10-pitch
I believe).  Also, no presentation font.
