Suppose one produces a file using MusicWriter, say some sheet music. On Appletalk, one can print this out to a LaserWriter NT easily. But the program uses fonts which are not resident in the printer, so I assume it sends these first. Now try the same thing but save things to a Postscript file(s)- while I'm at it is there a utility which combines all the pieces into one( it would be nice to be able to simply print to one file and not many pieces)?- and send this file to a UNIX system with a LaserWriter NT attached to it. It won't print! Is the problem one of downloading fonts, or is it the infamous "laserprep" file which seems to cause so many problems on the Mac?

I am talking about saving a Postscript file(using the usual trick- but it would be nice to have a print to file option in the print dialog box) on a GS, sending it to our UNIX system and then sending it to a LW NT. The file contains music fonts not found in the LaserWriter NT. While I'm responding to myself, may I ask what the state of True Type is for the GS?
