Thanx, Nathan.  I phoned Moody and Associates yesterday and they confirmed
that they do indeed sell such a product.  Mr. Moody indicated that his
software could convert LaserJet fonts up to about 24 pts.  The main limitation
is hardware.  In any event, I mailed him a check yesterday.  When I try the
package out, I will post my results in case anyone else is interested.  If this
actually works out, it will make my DeskJet immensely more useful to me.  Thanks
again.
