We have just bought a NeXTstation (Turbo color) and installed NeXTStep 3.0 on it. But we don't have a NeXT printer. Instead, we have an Apple LaserWriter attached to a SUN Sparc 2 station. I made arrangements so that we can have access to the printer through network. Then someone gave me a lot of fonts and I can display them on my NeXT console. But when I tried to print them, I can't----even if I save the screen output into normal postscript file. I realized that the printer I have is a postscript printer but it doesn't have enough memory to load in all the fonts. That seems to be the problem. What I don't understand is that, principly, the postscript files can be independent of any font file once it has been created in one place, so is there anyway that I can print those fancy fonts out on a non-NeXT postscript printer without bothering with loading all these fonts into my printer. I will appreciate your help. Zhong-Lin Lu
