I have been trying to use PSDOWN to down load fonts to a Digital LN03R ScriptPrinter. When PSDOWN asks for the printer password, it seems to only except numeric input (it only echos numbers). The LN03R's password is "LN03R" hence I can't seem to get the program to work with my printer. Any ideas? Thanks, Dom Cassone

I never even thought of this problem. We have a few Scriptprinters around, and I'll try a few things out. If I get anywhere, I'll let you know. My first thought was to change the password to 0, but it would be the string 0, not an integer, but then again, PostScript might not distinguish between the types of objects at that level. Anyway, if I come up with anything, I'll let you know. Now, if anyone out there in DEC land has found a way to download a font to an LPS40, I'd sure love to know about it (actually, I've done it, but only fonts I've created, not yet an Adobe font).
