Hello!

I've read the faq, which describes methods for getting rid of "sticky"
fonts.  I'm having the opposite problem; when the PFA file is sent to
the printer, the first ^D that comes along nukes the downloaded font.

==> How do you make a type 1 font resilient to ^Ds?

Put the following line in front of the PFA file:

	0 serverdict begin exitserver

I never looked up whether this is the "official" method, but it works...
