Hi folks!  Another query about font downloading in RiscOS 3.1...

Okay - so the printer driver dowloads fonts now, right?  Right...

Unmap Homerton.  Print file using Homerton in Impression 2.16.  Sure 'nuff,
it downloads the font (in this case, just another remapping to Helvetica!).

Fine, so lets download...  Optima!  and Garamond!  Take a look at the
PostScript it produces (I've never seen a font download after all).  Sure
'nuff, there are the comments where the font download goes, with *nothing*
between them!  Aaaaarrrrrrgggghhhh!

Hokay, calm down.  Go get the original Type-1's and AFMs, and convert them,
assuming that this will keep enough information to be able to download them,
once they have been converted.

My question is:  what do I have to do to get the printer driver to download
RiscOS 2 fonts for the duration of the job?  Can it be donw?  Or do I have
to go and hunt down all the Type-1 equivalents?
								Ug!
