I think I recall seeing some instructions for printing Mac QuickDraw files on
LaserWriters which are connected to non-Mac computers.  Some mentioned
not only sending LaserPrep, but how to handle references to font names
such as |______Symbol or |______Helvetica.  Simply sending the part of
LaserPrep that defines the md dictionary (so it doesn't tie up so much memory
that nothing else can run) leaves us with errors that such fonts are
undefined.  What else do we need to do?

As an aside, the version 40 LaserPrep has a name in it which consists of
two octal 312 characters (J plus 128 decimal), which gets clobbered by
editors that like nice 7-bit character files (such as vi).
