Hi, I have a number of public domain fonts on my NeXT (downloaded from sonata.cc.purdue.edu) and I've been unable to get them to appear in printed documents. I am sending the ps files to my school computer (non-NeXT) and printing them there on a non-NeXT printer. In order to get the document fonts donwloaded to the printer, I create a postscript file using the fontloader program that comes with the NeXT. The printer I'm using has no hardware password. I send the font.ps file first, and wait for it to complete and for the queue to empty, and then I send the postscript file that uses the downloaded fonts. The result: Nothing (nada). Is this the right procedure? I've looked at the README files accompanying the fonts, but nothing there and I don't have immediate access to the FAQ list (even if this problem is in there). I have tried this operation on two Postscript printers - an Apple LaserJet, and some other type which I have forgotten. Does anybody know the answer to this question? Thanks, Shane
