I didn't see the original message from Geoffrey, but I thought I'd mention
that the new release of WordPerfect (i.e., that has the new & improved file
requesters, separate screen and interlace support, IBM WP 4.2 import &
export, and a buncha other good improvements) _also_ supports various font
cartridges for the DeskJet (they don't specify DeskJet vs DeskJet Plus, so
I'll assume that they work for either).  Through the modern wonders of
multitasking, I fired up WP in the background while we speak (I access my
UN*X host via a modem from my Amiga), and the following is a list of the
printer drivers that are shown in the "Select Printers" function of the Print
program:

HP DeskJet A: Cour Ital
HP DeskJet B: P Elite
HP DeskJet C: LetterGothic
HP DeskJet D: TmsRmn
HP DeskJet E: TmsRmn
HP DeskJet F: TmsRmn
HP DeskJet G: Helv
HP DeskJet H: Helv
HP DeskJet J: Helv
HP DeskJet M: Presentations
HP DeskJet P: TmsRmn
HP DeskJet Q: Helv
HP DeskJet W/O Cartridge

So, with a little luck, you may not have to bother creating a special driver
after all; it appears that WP has done that for you!  (Assuming, of course,
that you spend the $15.00 for the update diskettes and new manual pages,
which, IMHO, are very much worth it!)
