I am looking for soft fonts that work with Windows 3.0. I had always
thought that soft fonts were 'downloaded' into the printers memory, then
were available during the life of that 'power-up' cycle.  But with windows
(and my HP Seriex II driver) the Symbol fonts exist in the directory
'pdl-fonts', and it appears that Windows just uses these fonts when
formatting the given page, then shoots a bit map to the printer (skipping
the downloading part all together).

I need to get the following fonts:

	Helvetica	8,10,12,14
	Courier		9
	TmsRoman	8,10,12,14

I appreciate any help in finding them.
