We have an LN-01 on a VAX780 running UNIX (4.2).  It would
be very nice to have the capacity to download fonts such that
Scribe and/or TeX could be used on this printer, but I have not
found a way to do it.

	Is there already font downloading software, for these fonts,
	written for the LN-01 (preferably under Unix, but any source
	would help)?

	I have heard that the LN-01 is not CAPABLE of printing
	in these fonts.  Is this true?

I just today read an announcement for the LN-03.  One immediate
difference I noted was that DEC was releasing the information
necessary to write font downloaders, which they did not do (?)
for the LN-01.  Will the LN-03 handle fonts of greater complexity
(assuming that this was the LN-01 limitation)?

Thanks for anyone who can help.

[[Editor's note---The University of Wisconsin has developed troff and
TeX drivers for the LN01 under Unix.  Earlier messages have described
these drivers.				--Rick ]]
