    This is not correct, the LaserWriter does not keep a list of disk font
names in RAM. What is true is that versions of the Apple
LaserWriter driver prior to version 6.0 had performance problems with
printers with lots of fonts available. If you use a printer with lots
of fonts on the disk (such as Adobe Font Folio(tm), then make sure you
upgrade to version 6.0 of the LaserWriter driver.
