Herve,

   Firt of all, you need outline (postscript) fonts for the laserwriter. If
you   use just plain bit maps, you will still get blocky fonts when you scale
them (make them larger). There is a way to created outline fonts, and it does
require a lot of work on your part, is to purchase a copy of Fontographer
(check the mail order catalogs) This will allow you to create and save them
to disk. As for downloading them to a hard disk, find someone with a copy of
Adobe's Font Downloader program. This will allow you to reset your
laserwriter, download to memory, or disk, both fonts and postscript graphics.

   If you need more help, please feel free to e-mail me directly!

Dave
