I am looking for a program (either shareware or commercial) which will
allow me to automatically download a set of postscript fonts to my 
LaserWriter upon each startup. Ideally the fonts to be downloaded could
be specified by being in a special folder or perhaps in a file.

I know about the LaserWriter Font Utility but it requires manual intervention.

I am using Textures (i.e. TeX) which can require 20 or more PS fonts to be
downloaded with each printing. Since I know what fonts I need for a particular
document (like my thesis) I would like to speed up my printing and download
the fonts permanently at the start of each day. Since my printer has 6Meg of
RAM memory usuage in not a concern.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks
