First of all, this is a Microsoft Word for DOS question, 
but I figured that some of you Windows Word users might remember DOS :-).


Also I read the FAQ on comp.periphs.printers but didn't find the answer.
I have also read books on WORD, including the manual.

I am trying to use Word 5.x for DOS with an HP-compatible laser printer.
The printer only has two resident type faces and only in two sizes,
something like courier and elite, 10 and 12 point. So I guess
its compatible with an HPLJ2 or something.  But it does have
a slot for a font cartridge.

Since I told WORD (during installation) that I am using an HPLJII
printer, it only gives me those two choices for fonts. I want more
(but it doesn't have to be much more).

So I want to buy a font cartridge.  All I want is one or two faces, 
with a couple of options for size, with at least an 18 point size and 
preferably up to 24 or so.

Now I know I could get a postscript font cartridge, but I doubt the
printer has enough memory.

I also could get into downloading fonts, but again I think the 
printer's memory is extreamly limited.


So here are the questions:

After I install the font cartridge: how do I tell WORD that this 
is no longer just a simple HPLJII, but rather, an upgraded model?


Can anyone recommend a font cartridge?


If I were to use downloadable fonts, how would I make WORD aware of these?



Thanks in advance !!! ^G^G^G
