What's wrong:
I tried to use enscript to print something in 5pt type in
AvantGarde-Book. This lead me to the discovery that enscript fails on
most of the fonts, with bizarre error messages, such as `330
characters omitted' when printing /etc/motd, which is 67 characters
(Athena Workstation (VS2) Version 6.0C Sat Aug 20 20:30:27 EDT 1988)
Note that although some of the fonts mentioned aren't on the LPS40,
they are on the LaserWriter Plus, so if new afm files are needed we
can build them from the printer. Note however that AvantGarde-* are on
the LPS-40, so it isn't just that.
I actually tried printing the results of AvantGarde-Book, and it came
out with normal banners and no text.
