I am also having a problem with the deskjet driver. From my
understanding of the help stuff with the driver, if I label my fonts
as temporary, then they will be downloaded when required. This does
not seem to happen, and the only way that I can get the fonts to work
is to mark them as temporary, and have them load at boot time, or
through running the control panel.

It appears that the driver does not download temporary fonts when they
are required: doesn't seem to do any checking to see if the fonts are
there at all.

If anyone has had any luck with this, please e-mail me, and I will
summarize if there is enough interest.

My setup is win 3.0, 386 enhanced mode, deskjet, 128K Ram cartridge,
HP's soft fonts, and I'm running winword, though I have the same
problems with windows write.

thanks,

kartik
