The devps package from Pipeline Associates supports downloadable
fonts for PostScript devices, including the LaserWriter.

devps includes the font program for requested non-resident PostScript 
fonts as part of the print stream that is sent to the printer.
The font downloading mechanism works with Adobe Type 1 and Type 3 
fonts.

devps is a commercial product that is available for UNIX and MS-DOS
systems. Please send e-mail to me if you want more information.
