[comp.laser-printers] need info about emulating HP Laserjet on Apple LaserWriter

Hi Printer/Fonts netland.

According to the Apple LaserWriter Reference manual, while emulating
the HP Laserjet, one has "access to the roman, bold, italic, and bold italic
fonts of the following built-in typefaces: Courier, Times, Helvetica".
Of course, one can use HP downloaded fonts.
My questions are:
1) Is it possible to have access to the built-in Symbol font while emulating
   the HP Laserjet? If the answer is YES, HOW CAN THIS BE DONE?
2) In case of positive answer to Que. #1, how one have an access to the other
   built-in fonts of the Apple LaserWriter while emulating the HP Laserjet?
3) Is it possible to use downloaded Postcript fonts while emulating the HP
   Laserjet? How?
4) Is there any freely or almost-freely distributed HP Laserjet font or
   font-family for mathematical symbols (like: membership, nonmembership,
   inclusion, revrse inclusion, direct sum (=plus sign over zero), tensor
   product (=mult. sign over zero), notequal sign) and for uppercase and lower
   case Greek letters?

Thanks for your answers.
