In article <44968@bbn.COM> mfrishko@BBN.COM describes his problems
trying to print a font based on a modified Zapf Dingbats.

In article <1137@adobe.UUCP> gelphman@adobe.COM (David Gelphman)
describes the dependencies between the FONT and the FOND, specifically
relating to character spacing.

I have not tried this, but perhaps the following strategy would be
helpful:

  1.  Use ResEdit to remove (CUT) the FOND resource.

  2.  Use Font/DA Mover (3.8) to install the font.  Since a FOND
      resource does not exist, the Font/DA Mover will create one.

Since the newly created FOND resource does NOT reference a printer
font, the print driver should download the bitmap, as desired.
