  Until WordPerfect added support for the Z cartridge, I used the "driver"
  for the HP 33411AC soft font set - which includes a superset of the Z
  cartridge Helvetica set.  The results were not perfect, but usable for
  most applications.

  By the way, the Z cartridge, which is the most useful of all the HP cart-
  ridges, is dubbed as "developed especially for use with Microsoft Word and
  Windows".  Thus, perhaps, its late and reluctant support by other WP's.
