Message-ID: Date: 6 May 91 18:39:48 GMT Sender: news@wdl1.wdl.loral.com Distribution: comp.sys.hp Organization: Ford Aerospace, Western Development Laboratories Lines: 22 I have a Deskjet+ printer with a 256K Byte softfont cartridge. I have been trying to write software to download my own softfonts. (I am using a 68000 based machine.) Eventual goal is to write a driver to download TeX fonts to use with a dvijet program. The documentation which came with the printer contains no discussion of softfonts and other documentation I have found from third parties doesn't seem to help either. Optimally, what I would like is C sources which demonstrate how a download is down, even for just one character. Pointers to HP (or other) manuals which describe the process would also help. Probably best not to pollute the network with this, so direct mail might be best. If enough others are intersted I could summarize and post. Thanks. -- Regards, George Dinolt (dinolt@wdl1.wdl.loral.com, (408) 473-4150)
