The DJ+ definitely needs a memory cartridge for downloading even the
smallest of fonts.  As for TeX, at least AmigaTeX from Radical Eye,
the DeskJet driver does not download fonts -- the entire page is
printed pretty much as a bitmap.  According to Tom Rokicki the
DeskJet and DJ+ does not allow certain things to be done with
downloaded fonts (or ones from cartridges) and thus he doesn't
support them (at least last time he mentioned DL fonts on the net).
