[comp.sys.misc] HP LASERJET II FONT

JRICHMAN%FAB8@sc.intel.COM (JACOB RICHMAN) (11/21/88)

Greetings,

     Recently we began to purchase HP Laserjet II printers. These printers
are going to replace all of our Diablo 630 printers. Most of the users
still want access to an IDS or Epson printer for various applications. One
application is printing wide Lotus spreadsheets. About a year ago I remember
an advertisement for fonts that allow the HP Laserjet II to print very small
but readable characters. If anyone uses or knows about these fonts and where
to purchase them please send me the information. Also is there a way to feed
the HP laserjet long paper and have it recognize the full landscape width?

                        Thanks in advance,
                        Jacob

Well, I don't know about all the different places you can obtain
LaserJet fonts from, but I suggest that you contact a small firm
in Los Angeles called "Custom Fonts".  They specialize in 300dpi
fonts and typefaces made to order, or off the shelf, and the samples
I've seen are exceptionally attractive.

Contact info:

You might also check with BitStream and Xerox (the Ventura Publisher
group) for information on others...

		Good luck.
