Contrary to assertions made in a recent message in this forum, the
Interpress language has full, precisely specified provisions for
down-loading fonts.  In particular, see section 4.9.1, "Fonts," of the
Interpress language standard.  A font is there defined as a data
structure which can be fully described and transmitted as part of an
Interpress master (i.e. as part of a document in Interpress form).

It is true that no currently available Xerox printer product supports
this feature of the Interpress language.  But this is a discussion about
the Interpress language, not about particular implementations.

The same message stated that "You can do it [download fonts using
Interpress], but at least on Xerox 2700s, 'you don't want to.'"  On the
2700 you cannot do it using Interpress:  The 2700 is not an Interpress
printer.
