The LaserWriter IISC can print any bit-mapped screen font -- including
those you create yourself using programs such as Fontastic Plus -- not
just the ones supplied with the system.
For optimum printing resolution, it's best to have the 4x font available,
but not essential. If the 4x font isn't available, the Font Manager will
look for the next best font to scale:
- a font twice the size of the desired four times font
- a font half the size of the desired four times font
- the next larger font
- the next smaller font or the display font.
If the 4x font isn't available, it is advisable to choose Text Smoothing
in Page Setup.
Using the Altsys program Fontographer, you can convert any Altsys
PostScript font into a rough bit-map screen font. We'd recommend then
using the Altsys program Fontastic Plus to edit the rough screen font
into something more suited for printing.

Library for Altsys.
