Does anyone know of a way to load font files to a HP Laserjet using
the standard printer unit in TP5.5 ? I have managed to do it by
doing blockreads on the font file, then sending it char by char to
the printer via interrupt $17. Using the standard printer unit and the LST
designator doesnt seem to work. Some of the font gets loaded ... some doesn't,
and I get gibberish on the printed page. I assume that the text file driver us
is filtereing or interpreting the chars. Is there a "transparent" mode I
need to know about ?
