Actually, the new line of DEC printers recently released, which include the
LN05 and LN06, come with 43 fonts, including the LaserWriter 35 (sounds like a
dissident group in prison, eg, "free the LaserWriter 35!").

The LN05 is a simplex 8 ppm printer, the '06 a duplex 8 ppm.

At Seybold the LN07 was announced, which is a 4 ppm simplex printer which also
has the same 43 fonts as the other printers.
