LaserWriter IINT: Memory Allocation



I have a LaserWriter IINT with 2MB of memory. I would like to download
additional fonts.

What is the memory allocation for the fonts and what is taken up for the
buffer out of the 2MB? When I download three additional fonts, a "not
enough memory" message appears.

What can I do to download more fonts?

Of the 2MB of RAM in a LaserWriter IINT, 616K is used for fonts. Of this
amount, approximately 500K is available for downloading additional fonts.

Although there is no memory upgrade for the LaserWriter IINT, you can
upgrade it to a LaserWriter IINTX, which can be expanded to 12MB. You can
also use the fonts "dynamically" -- which means they are simply placed in
the System Folder and the fonts are removed and downloaded dynamically by
the operating system.
