On this machine, I would install BL2 (unless I wanted the easy PCMCIA in BL3 or MagicPoint).

I need both PCMCIA and Magicpoint. PCMCIA will be needed for networking
and Magicpoint will be used for conducting parts of the class. Looks like
BL3 might be the better target OS given these considerations.

Yes, it should be possible to install font packages
from Slack4 into BL3, but you might get some dramatic
changes to the existing appearance (and perhaps some
minor error messages) as the old fonts are overwritten.
This is not an issue with BL2.

Ok, I have a testbed computer set up on which I can experiment with adding new fonts to BL3. I'll try that and see what the results will be. Can you tell me which font packages to add? I've found packages called gsfonts and freefonts in Slack4. Are those the right ones to try adding? Any others?

Yes, print to file.

Good to know Abiword for BL can print to ps.

Thanks,
James
