+---------------

I built and successfully copied and used several fonts for OzTeX before taking
it of my disk (40MB can fill up surprisingly quickly... and I don't have a PS
printer or an ImageWriter, so OzTeX is less than useful to me --- neither the
Grappler nor PrintLink worked quite right with it).

Quick notes:

(1) Make sure you use binary mode in the file transfer.
(2) Endianness doesn't matter --- I built the fonts on a 486.
(3) I did this in an earlier version of OzTeX than the current one.  It *is*
    possible that a small buglet managed to creep in along the line....
