Testing.

PostScript fonts are licensed from the original type designers and
carefully adapted to PostScript outline form by a team of skilled
typographers.  If you try to "convert" them into some other form, you
not only run the risk of infringing on copyright territory, but you
may well cause cancer to the letterforms themselves.  At least for the
sake of the type designers, who are hard-working artists, do not try
to copy the fonts.

You should contact Hewlett-Packard for information on fonts that are
compatible with the LaserJet II.

Thanks for your consideration.
