Our site is quite new to postscript so I hope that you will excuse me
if the following question has been covered recently or (even worse) is
stupid :-)


Currently we are using a QMS PSjet postscript compatable printer.  
Unfortunately, this printer has only ~13 resident fonts available.  As
a new printer is not an available option I am wondering if it is
possible to use host resident fonts which can be downloaded to the
printer as needed.  If so, can someone provide me with information or
a source of information on font availability and the appropriate tools
required to implement this function.  PD stuff would be best but any
information including possible vendors would be greatly appreciated.

Much Thanks!!
