I'm afraid I can't add any insight, just another version of the problem:

Using ATM, I can get beautiful fonts on-screen at any size, but I still
haven't found out how to get the fonts downloaded to a Postscript laser
printer.  Ideally, you want them downloaded for a particular job as
required, then removed straight afterwards.

Does anyone have any ideas how to solve David's and my problem?
