Preliminary experimenting has uncovered one annoyance with downloadable
fonts on the LaserJet Plus:  there is no general way to specify vertical
spacing.  The "height" parameter in the font descriptor apparently exists
solely for the old-style font selection by attribute; it has no effect on
actual vertical spacing.  And the vertical-line-spacing control sequences
think in 48ths of an inch, which is (a) bizarre, and (b) unsuited to exact
specification of vertical spacing on a 300/inch printer.  Looks like one
would have to use cursor control to position lines properly with a font
using an unusual line spacing.  What an annoyance.  (HP, are you listening?)
