Thanks for the replies to my problem with getting cica fonts actually
printing on a genuine Apple LaserWriter + (ROM 38.0).  It was easy, BUt
it was not in my manual.  Did I not get the whole manual?  All I got
was a little booklet when Adobe sent me ATM free with my Illustrator
upgrade.

Anyway, hre's how to get the cica fonts to download and print.

in WIN.INI under the section for the printer (in my case PSCRPT) there
are some lines that say:

softfontX=x:\fontdir\pfm\xxxxxxxx.pfm

this should read

softfontX=x:\fontdir\pfm\xxxxxxxx.pfm,x:\fontdir\xxxxxxxx.pfb

which tells Windows that the font is not a residetn printer font and
that it should be downloaded and also where to find it.

Thanks.

Kevin
