Now if there were just a simple way to download
a font from unix? rather than reverting back
to FontDownloader or some other utility.
Since you can issue the commands mentioned in the
> quotes below with lpr, maybe you could download
a font with lpr, too? I tried running Type1 Unpacker
on a font and downloading it that way, but it
didn't seem to work.
Has anyone done this, i.e. downloaded PostScript fonts
to an AppleTalk printer using just unix commands?
