Yes...no II, no III, just LC (as in '020-based).  I also had to print
some dox that went with the fonts (one font came with a ClarisWorks
file and another one actually stuck its dox in an app!)...the printout
went to an Imagewriter II over an AppleTalk network.  My IIGS and
Imagewriter (no II here, either) could've outrun the LC in
printing--from TO SuperFonts at the very least, and probably at
printing from GS apps as well.

In any case, it's better to FTP files to the HD than to try sending
them directly to floppy.  This applies no matter what computer you
use, but it applies even more so to the Mac than to other systems.
