Adobe is definitely insuring that downloaded fonts are used on only one printing engine. We have a Allied Linotype 300 that when a board had to be replaced we couldn't download fonts. We have to get Adobe to re-register the font info. I guess it looks at serial numbers stored in ROM. I suppose it would be pretty easy to find that particular ROM in the LaserWriter and burn copies so you could use any one of several LaserWriters in a group. Anyway, you can print most things using bitmap screen fonts from the mac. You lose looks but can proof final copy on the licensed printing engine. nivek Aka : Kevin Dowling Bell: (412) 268-8830 Arpa: nivek@rover.ri.cmu.edu Mail: Robotics Institute Carnegie Mellon University Pgh, PA 15213-3890
