We are considering to equip our LaserJet-Series-II and LaserJet-III printers
with cartridges for PostScript emulation. We are told that cartridges are 
available 
   1) from Hewlett Packard for LaserJet-III,
   2) from Pacific Page    for LaserJet-Series-II and
   3) from Adobe           for LaserJet-Series-II.
Further we know that we need to upgrade the printers with an additional memory 
board of 2MB.

But before buying these accessories, we would like to know any problems related
with them, in particular, any problems concerning the compatibility of the 
emulated PostScript compared to usual PostScript printers, e.g. to the 
LaserWriter.

Our questions:
   1) Which company's PostScript cartridge would you suggest? 
      Are other PostScript options available?
   2) We mainly are using the following software to generate PS printer output:
      Framemaker, SunWrite, dvips, dvialw (TeX drivers family).
      Are there any known problems when printing these files on a PS emulating
      LaserJet? 
      Are there any known configuration problems with the software?
   3) We heard a rumor that the built-in fonts of some cartridges are 
      incompatible with the Adobe fonts.
      Does anyone know of this?

Thanks in advance.
