Simple it is. Flexible it isn't. If you're content to use bitmapped fonts,
you're fine. If you want to use scalable fonts, fuhget it. Annie was right
about a lot of things, and one thing she harped on was the crumminess of Xy3 PRN
files, and the obvious solution: PostScript. Fortunately, in Xy4+, you've got
all these facilities at your disposal (Speedo, TrueType, Adobe, also
including your solution -- if bitmaps are adequate).
