The PostScript group spends a lot of time talking about a PostScript
version of the PD Hershey fonts, but I don't own an LW so haven't been
paying much attention.  (Check with them).

As for PD laser fonts, there won't be many.  It takes a lot more work
(and skill!) to design an outlined laser font at 300 dpi than it does
to twiddle the 12x8 bitmap of a 12-point font at 72 dpi.  I mean,
how many ways are there to make a 12-point 'O'?  (not many).
