I'm having trouble with Win3 and DeskJetPlus softfonts. I installed the "708C" (TmsRmn and Helv) softfonts in the default temporary mode using control panel / printers. In this mode, the fonts are supposed to be downloaded into the printer as required by a given printing document. It doesn't work. Using either WinWord or Write, everything comes out in the printer's built-in courier font. Anybody made this work? Thanks in advance, Joe Diederichs

Sorry to be the bearer of bad news, but (I realize this is poorly documented) the DeskJet and DeskJet Plus cannot handle a "temporary" download - it's a firmware issue. When using the Windows soft font installer, you must select permanent. The confusion arises because we share the soft font installer with the LaserJet, which can do temporary downloads. Sorry if this isn't what you wanted to hear - bob taylor HP Vancouver
