   A friend of mine is interested in placing Adobe fonts for his
LaserWriter printers on a file server so that everyone would have access
to them.  (They only have 2 LaserWriters on a self-contained LocalTalk
network and they have purchased a license for each of these printers.)
   I know that people usually have to place these fonts in their system
folder, but the users bring their own floppies to start up the Macs and
there is not enough room for the system folder the way it is.
   There supposedly exists something called "Set Path" or a variation
which automatically opens the font file(s) so that a resource search
will find the fonts.  (I could be dreaming.)  Does anyone use this or
have any more information about such a utility?  Thanks.
