I'd be interested in knowing how they can sell fonts for PS printers
which don't do AppleTalk (or do they not sell such fonts?)  We have many
DEC ScriptPrinters (LN03R's) and a couple LPS40's, and I am trying to
convince some people to get Palatino for them.  But none of them speak
AppleTalk.  The LN03R's speak RS232, and the LPS40's speak DECNET.

Has anybody bought extra fonts for these printers?
