          FLEMING, Administrative Patent Judge.                                       


                                 DECISION ON APPEAL                                   
               This is a decision on appeal from the final rejection of               
          claims 12-24, all the claims pending in the instant application.            
          Claims 1-11 and 25-30 have been canceled.                                   
                                      Invention                                       
               The invention relates to a method and apparatus for                    
          providing additional fonts for a printer.  See page 2 of                    
          Appellant's specification.  If a user of prior art printers wants           
          to access a greater number of fonts, the user has two options.
