[net.text] qms rom fonts, qms .bd

kc@rna.UUCP (Kaare Christian) (01/16/85)

This posting may be of interest to text persons who have a QMS
Lasergraphics 1200 printer and troff.

1.  The distributed troff support from qms contains a hint that it is
possible to access the ROM fonts, but the actual goodies and detailed
instructions are missing.  I have learned the secret, and am willing to
share this info. with any interested party.  In particular I can offer
pseudo step-by-step instructions and a small C program that makes font
headers.  Reply directly if interested.

2.  I can't get the troff .bd (artificial bold) command to work on the
qms.  It seems to generate much verbiage from qcat, i.e. its not
ignored, but I don't get any emboldening. Does anyone have any
suggestions? Please reply directly.
