Suppose one produces a file using MusicWriter, say some sheet music. On
Appletalk, one can print this out to a LaserWriter NT easily. But the
program uses fonts which are not resident in the printer, so I assume it
sends these first. Now try the same thing but save things to a Postscript
file(s)- while I'm at it is there a utility which combines all the pieces
into one( it would be nice to be able to simply print to one file and not
many pieces)?- and send this file to a UNIX system with a LaserWriter NT
attached to it. It won't print! Is the problem one of downloading fonts, or
is it the infamous "laserprep" file which seems to cause so many problems
on the Mac?
