Hi, I have a number of public domain fonts on my NeXT (downloaded
from sonata.cc.purdue.edu) and I've been unable to get them
to appear in printed documents.  I am sending the ps files to
my school computer (non-NeXT) and printing them there on a 
non-NeXT printer.  In order to get the document fonts donwloaded
to the printer, I create a postscript file using the fontloader
program that comes with the NeXT.  The printer I'm using has
no hardware password.  I send the font.ps file first, and wait
for it to complete and for the queue to empty, and then I
send the postscript file that uses the downloaded fonts.  The
result:  Nothing (nada).  Is this the right procedure?  I've
looked at the README files accompanying the fonts, but nothing
there and I don't have immediate access to the FAQ list
(even if this problem is in there).  I have tried this operation
on two Postscript printers - an Apple LaserJet, and some other
type which I have forgotten.

Does anybody know the answer to this question?

Thanks,

Shane
