I downloaded some Old English fonts( oen14.sfp for WordPerfect,
oen14.tfm and oen14.300pk for TeX) from mims-iris.waterloo.edu,
but am having difficulties to make them work.

For the soft font (oen14.sfp), I tried to use WordPerfect's PTR.EXE
program to integrate it into the *.ALL file. It will show up and
downloaded to the printer when I "initialize" the printer, but will
not be selected right when I want use that font. I problem I think
is I couldn't get the correct *typeface number* for the Old English
font on HP LaserJet+.

Question number two.
The oen14.300pk font is supposed to be a 300dpi font, so I put it as
\tex\fonts\dpi300\oen14.pk and the oen14.tfm as
\tex\fonttfms\oen14.tfm.   They pasted the TeX.EXE fine but when use
DVIVGA, all the characters are superposed on each other.
When I try to use DVIJEP.EXE, it produced a empty file x.JEP.
with no error message.

Any help will be appreciated!
