Rich, I have a psuedo-answer for you and a question to Net-land in
addition.  I too am looking for soft font Packages.  I have a HP
Laserjet II, and have narrowed the search down to MoreFonts or
SuperPrint.  (I am not sure if MoreFonts supplies courier thought :-(
).  This is what I know of the two packages:

    MoreFonts:
       (I am relating what I have read from promotional documentation)
       Supplies 17 typefaces,
          3 sets of 4 (normal, bold, italic, italic bold)
              Their version of Helvitica, TmsRoman, LetterGothic
          5 sets of 1 (normal only)
              Their version of Broadway, CooperBlack, Coronet, 
              Univ.Roman, and Bodini Bold.
       Has Special effects
       Will create a soft font bitmap and store it, or create the 
         soft font real-time and download it as needed.

    SuperPrint:
       (I am relating what I was told by a salesman)
       It comes with a reasonable set of soft fonts.
       It takes Bitstream fonts (which makes it VERY expandable)
       It does not create softfonts, instead it creates a bitmap of 
          each page.
       It supposedly works FAST. (Seems contrary to downloading a bitmap :-)

Does anyone out there have any experience with either too packages?
Has anyone looked at both???  Looking at the documentation, I think
that MoreFonts is what I want.  Listening to the Salesperson, Superprint
is what I want.

If there is interest, I will post a summary of mail, post, and what I find
out on my own.
