I'm getting sick of using Times Roman and Helvetica for everything, and would like to find some others to play around with. I looked for a FAQ message, but if there was one, it scrolled off already at my site, sorry.

I have got some of the .SFP fonts for a HPLJ III, and want to use them with WordPerfect 5.1. How do I load them into the HPLJ in such a way that WP5.1 can recognize them and use them? Or, how do I tell WP5.1 to use a soft font with a particular number?? Idiot-proof answers would be very welcome, as I'm new to this stuff and have no idea.............

I'm not a WP expert, but I think you have 2 choices: tell WP that you have cartridge X and separately load fonts identical to the ones in the cartridge, or to tell WP where to find the fonts and let it do the down-loading. I'm a bit vague on how to do the latter, but a WP guru should be able to set you up. For the former, you could write a simple batch file to send the setup escape string, the file and the closing escape string (your manual should describe the necessary strings) to the printer, or use a font management program to do it; HP sells a fairly sophisticated one called Type Director.

Soft fonts for the HP laserjet family are available from: mims-iris.waterloo.edu (129.97.129.116) by anonymous ftp, under fonts/laserjet (I think).
