Recently I tried downloading some Postscript fonts to a 
hard drive attached to a LaserWriter IINTX from my Macintosh IIfx
running System 7.1.  I tried using the latest utility from Apple 
for the task (7.2) and discovered to my surprise that it reported  
every postscript font I owned was defective and it could not do the
job as a result.  This was even the case after reformatting the 
drive on the printer and restarting it.  Fortunately when I tried the
older software from Apple for the task (7.0), the problem went away.
Has anyone else experienced this problem and know its cause?

Where does Apple or Adobe document the postscript stuff about downloading
fonts to drives attached to PostScript printers?
