I could not use any of the HP fonts under system 7, the driver would complain
that they can't be found.  I have try putting the fonts into the system folder,
and also the extensions folder.  In any case, this is a minor problem,
because Truetype works perfectly.  My only grip is that I have set page setup,
on each document to avoid getting the "HP font not found" message.
