Please note that MusicWriter is a GS program! I am talking about saving
a Postscript file(using the usual trick- but it would be nice to have
a print to file option in the print dialog box) on a GS, sending it to
our UNIX system and then sending it to a LW NT. The file contains music
fonts not found in the LaserWriter NT. 

While I'm responding to myself, may I ask what the state of True Type is for
the GS?
