Be that as it may, when a friend of mine needed to plot AutoCAD drawings
and all he had was the .PS version sof them and an HP printer, he
wrote a program to convert the PS that Autocad used to HP PCL.

He died; I don't have the program.

In general of course, you are right, but the example you have given is
a bad one; counter examples exist.

>What does one do about the fonts, about the way that curves are drawn, etc?

Fonts are becoming less of a problem; as are curves with the new laserjet.

Disclaimer: I'd rather stick red hot steel needles in my eyes than use
            a laserjet.
