        Obsolete: If (admittedly poorer quality) TrueType typefaces are downloaded
to a PostScript printer then the driver also automatically downloads a
TrueType interpreter... About 60 kilobytes in the .PS file...

        Not really, as long as you *PAY ATTENTION* to whether you use TrueType or
PostScript. Yes, it takes more care in the setup... But once it is set up,
them NT/x86 handles PostScript quite nicely. AlphaNT is another story,
though...
