152.0. "Softfonts in ALL-IN-1" by LAVGOD::ALLEN (I got free checking at BCCI) Mon Mar 02 1992 20:58

    
    
    Has anyone successfully used Softfonts with ALL-IN-1?  I've been
    experimementing with Softfonts and am able to use various fonts within
    ansii files when printed from DCL.  I'm able to do this by sending the 
    font file down to the printer and then printing the ansii file with the
    appropriate escape sequences corresponding to a selected font.
    
    However, there is no mechanism within ALL-IN-1 to load the font file to
    the printer prior to sending a WPS+ file.  I've come across an ASSETS
    package called ALL-IN-1 Printing Enhancements
    that is supposed to allow ALL-IN-1 access to all those new
    features of the DEClaser printers (duplex, tumble, etc.) and also
    preload softfonts.  Has anyone installed this ASSETS package and has
    gotten Softfonts working?
    
    I also understand that alot of the ALL-IN-1 Printing Enhancements
    functionality is incorporated in ALL-IN-1 V3.0.  Can someone confirm
    this?  In particular, are softfonts selections available and easy to 
    use in ALL-IN-1 V3.0
