[comp.lang.postscript] downloading PostScript font info to a DEC ln03r

   I am posting this for a friend who is not on USENET, so if anyone
has an answer to this, please send the reply to:

     We have a DEC ln03r laserprinter, which we use for printing
post-script files. However, it doesn't have the math symbol font in
it, but we'd like to print files which use the math symbols. I have
heard that it is possible to include font definitions  in the
postscript file itself, which will be loaded into the ln03r. If this
is true, where can I get the postscript definitions for the math
symbol font (I am printing files created by  DECwrite), and how do I
know where in my postscript file to include them? If this is not true,
does anyone have any idea on how I can get around this problem? I
would even settle  for the printer simply ignoring (not printing) the
characters it doesn't know how to draw (instead of skipping the whole
document, as it does not). Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
