I am looking for width tables for the built-in scalable fonts in the
HP LaserJet-III (i.e. the GC Times and Univers fonts).  HP says the
only way to get this information is to buy their font loader package.
It bothers me that I should have to pay extra to properly use a font
that's built into the printer.  The PCL-5 reference manual gives all
the gory details about the escape sequences, soft font formats, symbol
sets, etc., but no width tables.

If anybody has solved this problem, I'd appreciate hearing about it.
Thanks in advance.
