HP DeskWriter Fonts Wanted

I have an HP DeskWriter, which I am happy with overall (it's not a Postscript 
printer, but it's better than an Imagewriter!)  The one thing I'd like for it
is more fonts.  I have the HP font package, which satisfied my craving for a
while, but I'd like *MORE*.  So, what I'd like to know is:

	1. Are there any HP DeskWriter compatible outline fonts around?
	   I know the ones that come with the printer are from Agfa;  do
	   *they* have any others that would work?  Does anyone else?

	2. Failing (1), could anyone recommend bitmap fonts (using the old
	   4X size trick) that might work well?  Even better, does anyone
	   have any direct experience using bitmap fonts on the DeskWriter?
	   Names of specific font manufacturers would be helpful.

Thanks!
