Built in fonts must be selected by symbol +set, so VF files should be build to remap the characters. The LJ4's +user-defined symbol set feature is not supported. + +When HP released the LJ4 metrics, they included a set of LJ3 metrics that +where different from the LJ3 metrics distributed earlier. The metrics used +in this release are from the files that HP suggests for LJ3 and LJ4 printers. +Note that LJ4 printers include all of the LJ3 fonts, so both sets must be +retrieved to use all the fonts. + +In an effort to make the distribution more understandable, metrics are +divided into LJ3 and LJ4 subdirectories and within each of those directories, +a directory exists for each typeface. At the lowest level, the archives +have names of the form + + nXXX-YY.zip + +Where "n" is either 3 or 4 (for LJ3 or LJ4), "XXX" is a typeface abbreviation, +and "YY" is either "pl" or "tfm" indicating what sort of files are in the +archive.
