I have to agree. We have two different font modules in our unit. One is a
font cartridge "F" the other a softfont "AC". The "F" has helvetica in bold
only after your reach 14 point size and a line draw set. Not much for $250.
Softfont "AC" is a better buy. Times roman and helvetica from 6 point to 30
point. Most with italics and bold format. Price: $200 (including download
software)
I modded the basic programs that it comes with and it now reads our font
selections from a file and sends them to the printer as part of the boot
sequence. We have 11 fonts loaded in an HP series II with 2 MB of RAM.
