[comp.fonts] downloading PS fonts via lpr

dberry@lanai.cs.ucla.edu (10/26/88)

I have some Fontographer-generated PostScript fonts. I have
been able to get them copied over to our UNIX system which is connected to
our LaserWriters and QPS-800's by serial ports.
I append to this font definition some text that findfont's
and setfont's these and then prints some text. If I lpr this to the 
PostScript printer nothing happens. Now the file that I lpr
does begin with a PS comment. Why does nothing happen?
There are lots of control D's and also when I look at the font definition,
I see a lot of PS keywords run together with no blanks..

What am I doing wrong, what more should I do...
I have heard that downloading from a mac adds some more
PS to the font definition. If so, is that what I am missing?
What is it that gets added?
