[comp.fonts] Toshiba downloadable fonts

I am planning to write a TeX driver for my Toshiba P351 printer (unless
someone sends me one!), and am in need of information about the
printer's downloadable font capability.  I have both the regular manual
and the technical reference, both of which provide insufficient
information.  Any help understanding the process of downloading fonts
would be helpful.  Code examples would be great, but not necessary if
explanations are clear.

 These use only the bit graphics mode of the P351. I'm not
sure that the memory available on the P351 is enough to make
it worthwhile downloading fonts. One has to also worry about
precise placement of the individual characters on the page, so
I'm not sure the 351 could handle that without a lot of movement
about the page.
