how did you do it? I'll dig as soon as possible for setup.pdf. I spend
all sunday workig on that. Part of it was installing xfsft (or rather
dokumenting / translating an article fron a german magazine) and the
worst part was to follow the author to install the fonts manually. Basic
Idea is to claim (against SO) that your printer supports a "bizillion"
(TrueType) fonts as ghostscript does (it supports TTF). But SO won't
work as described and I need further input on filenames (list of
"additional" fonts vs font description etc.) for SO.
A documentation on how to install TTF's with xfsft -as said- can be
requested for the "trial to rebuild" phase.
