The Apple LaserWriter IISC comes with the standard 4 fonts (Helvetica,
Times, Courier, and Symbol).  Where can additional fonts be found?
Since the IISC is a quickdraw, not a postscript, printer, I assume that
the Adobe fonts will not work.  The IISC requires fonts with sizes 4x the
size you want to print.

The standard Adobe Type Manager says that it works for the IISC but it
only provides the same four fonts.  The extended Adobe type manager
package states that they are postscript fonts, and doesn't include the
IISC among the printers that it works with.

It is hard to believe that the IISC can only print using the standard
set of fonts and no others!

Thanks in advance,
Dwight Hare
