	Technical Note TN1146: LaserWriter 8.6 and Fonts
		LaserWriter 8, when printing directly to a printer, but not to a print queue server or to disk, can delay the downloading of a given font to just before the start of the page with that font's first occurrence.
		As described above in the section LaserWriter 8 Spooling and Fonts, during the second pass prior to playing back the spooled application drawing, LaserWriter 8 first queries the printer to determine the availability of the fonts that were used in the drawing.
		The LaserWriter 8 driver uses two different font queries; one is for the availability of a specific set of fonts, while the other is for a full list of fonts available in the printer.
