Along with this, I'd like to ask if people have been able to successfully alter the LaTeX or Plain formats in TeXtures to use different fonts automatically.
Basically, on a simple LaserWriter+, we get PostScript stack errors when we 
use a lot of different styles (bf, it, em and math) and have to download the
corresponding CM fonts.  We tried to change the lfonts file to use the
resident PostScript fonts (Times, Helvetical, Symbol) and were only marginally
successful.

If anyone can offer help on generating new TeX fonts from Adobe typefaces and
then using ANY PostScript font instead of CM all the time, I sure would 
appreciate it.

Thanks
