We recently bought a postscript printer (A QMS ps 800 II) to use with
our word processing package in the preparation of our service manuals.
Please note that this printer is not to be used by a MacIntosh or
connected to AppleTalk.

We also bought some fonts from Adobe that match what we currently use
in our manuals.

Heres the catch.  If we want to use the fonts we have to download them
from a Mac.  Adobe only supports downloading of it's fonts from a Mac.
I would like to have the fonts downloaded from the Vax after a reboot
(the power often goes out here during the winter months).  I have
talked with Adobe technical support and they do not seem willing to
talk about working out a way I can download from my Vax.

Has anyone else worked this out?  Is Adobe so tied to Apple that they
will only work with Macs?  I am willing to put in the programming 
effort to accomplish the downloading but I need some pointers on the
way it's done.
