I am not CERTAIN about this, but here's what I THINK is the case:

They do NOT have postscript BUT they DO have:

a) 35 bitstream fonts which are analogs to the std. postscript set
b) a conversion program that'll transform postscript doc's as necessary
   for the proper effect to come out on the printer.

Call'em to make sure!
