I recently (Feb. 14) posted (on net.sources) a Bourne shell program 
that spools a PostScipt program to a PS device (i.e. LaserWriter) that
causes that device to write back an AFM table for one of its fonts
back on the PS device's standard out (i.e. the tty connection to host).
Now we want to know how to get troff to use the spiffy LW Plus AFM
tables that we now have. We have a net of Sun3's running 4.2bsd and the
full TranScript distribution. We know we should probably use pscatmap but
we don't have a clue. Enscript works well with the new AFM tables gotten
off the LW Plus.

We would also like to know if there is software available to translate
vfont tables into PS fonts and whether there are any spiffy user defined
dingbat fonts floating out in the public domain.
