I have a utility that runs on a mac and converts mac format fonts into
"normal" ascii files.  These files can be prepended to your job when
printing or downloaded outside the server loop.  If anyone wants a
copy and you can un-binhex files, send mail or call and I'll send
a copy to you.

As far as I know, there exists no mechanism for the LPS40 print
symbiont to automatically download fonts.  It would be nice if the
symbiont interpretted document structuring comments.
