[comp.sys.acorn] Fonts on HP-Laserjet

i8d524@vax87.aud.auc.dk (01/18/91)

At school I have access to both a HP-Laserjet and a postscript laserprinter.
Having to print out some non-postscript fonts I'm stuck with the Laserjet (if
wrong please correct me). Since I have only diskdrives and have to
transfer the printout via a DOS-diskette I'm limited at using files of
up to app. 800 KB. Printing a full page of bitmapped graphics on a Laserjet
takes at least 1,2 MB of memory, making it difficult for me to use it.

Now, does anyone know how to use the laserjets font-downloading facility from
an Archimedes using bitmapped fonts. This kind of file is much smaller still
putting the same thing on the paper.
