Summary: AGFA printer

The Agfa 400PS printer is the only announced product that supports the
68020 PostScript hardware.  The only fonts available for it are the ones
announced by Adobe (and other third party font vendors) for PostScript
printers.  Compugraphic's fonts WILL NOT WORK ON IT.  PostScript printers
only understand fonts written in PostScript, so the AGFA cannot take
advantage of Compugraphic's font library.  The same hold true for a
Linotronic 100/300 running PostScript: they cannot use the Merg fonts
in PostScript (doesn't mean you can't use the L100/300 as a traditional
compositor with the Merg fonts, just means you can't access them in PS).
