As a point of clarification, supporting eexec does NOT imply that Adobe's
fonts are supported.  Eexec is simply an encripted-data reading version of
exec and is not tied to the font format in anyway.

Additionally, being able to decrypt the data does not mean that one can do
anything useful with it since the decrypted stream may contain commands that
have little chance of being implemented (such as cexec) or contain data that
is formatted in a proprietary way (such as font data).

Yes, Tektronix's Phaser line of printers does support eexec but does
NOT support Adobe fonts.
