I just changed these lines in the SOURCE code to  fonts I had:

   fprintf(fpo,"%s","\\newfont{\\hb}{cmbx12}\n");
   fprintf(fpo,"%s","\\newfont{\\hbbig}{cmbx12}\n");
   fprintf(fpo,"%s","\\newfont{\\tbeight}{cmbx8}\n");
   fprintf(fpo,"%s","\\newfont{\\treight}{cmr8}\n");
   fprintf(fpo,"%s","\\newfont{\\tbieight}{cmti8}\n");
   fprintf(fpo,"%s","\\newfont{\\tb}{cmbx12}\n");
   fprintf(fpo,"%s","\\newfont{\\trsix}{cmr5}\n");

You could probably also write an editor (sed) script to manipulate the latex
file produced by the original code. This is a great little program -- I
just cranked out my appointments for December with it on an Imagen
8/300. BTW the 
   \newfont{\\trsix}{cmr5}
is a little large, is there such a thing as a 4.5 pt cm roman? Can I
scale DOWN a 8 or 9 pt roman font?
