 Thames, Spokane and Devoll are in Font Disk #1 from SoftLogik.  I got
it for $19 from Software Discounters of America (very good store).
With PP v1.02, you get System, Helvetica and Times SCREEN fonts, but
only Helvetica PRINTER fonts.  All font disks (SOftLogik's or Font Factory's)
comes with SCREEN and PRINTER fonts.

 I just learned that the TIMES printer font is NOT public-domain as I
incorrectly stated previously. TIMES and a bunch of others are put out by
Font Factory. Each disk is about $20 thru mail-order.

 Columbia, Hudson, and Saturn ARE in public-domain. So is University-Roman.
BTW, a few of the fonts (including Devoll and Thames) do not generate
the greater-than and less-than signs.

 Also, test a couple of other printer drivers. I have a PANASONIC 1091i
and the readme file suggests the MX80f driver.  However, I've found the
FX80F to be significantly better when it comes to printing text.  For
normal text, point size of 10 seems to generate the best print. Helvetica
at 10 ps is INCREDIBLY awesome on the PANA1091i (close to laser print!!)
