I am looking for some insight on fonts. I have a HP IIP and it seems
to accept sfp and sfl fonts when downloaded to it.. I also see many 
messages here about other types of fonts such as type 1, type 3, etc..

What I would like to know is if these fonts are the same as sfp fonts,
or which names are used for sfp type fonts, so that when reading a message
I know if the fonts mentioned can be used on my printer.. FYI, I use
the VS Software Laser Word Processor Tool Kit to download the fonts to
the printer from an XT clone...

Thanks for any help you can offer.
