Hi, folks.

I have a question about fonts that I hope is appropriate to post here. 
I'm most often using PageMaker 4.0 and a LaserWriter II.  I know that
when printing a PageMaker file, the appropriate PostScript fonts will be
downloaded automatically to the LaserWriter RAM, but then flushed from
the printer when the job is done.  I know that if I download fonts
manually (with Font Downloader, or something), the fonts will stay
resident in the printer's memory until it is powered down or until more
space is needed for another font to be downloaded. 

Question: Is there a technique or utility available so that I could just
print the PageMaker (or other) file without having to either 
	(1) wait for the fonts to be downloaded every time I print it or 
	(2) manually download, 
yet cause the downloaded fonts to remain in the LaserWriter's memory? Or
am I totally confused about the whole thing?

Thanks for any help,

Wayne Colella	colella@emav51.webo.dg.com
