I am a novice itroff user and have some questions I hope someone can
answer.
Background: We have recently received an Imagen 8/300 printer and the
appropriate distribution tape. It is attached to a 780
running 4.2. It is communicating using the spp protocol.
I am using the filters distributed on the tape in conjunction
with troff. (itroff, catdvi, dviimp, etc)
1. When I attempt to print some of the samples in the imagen/samples directory
I receive Font File not found messages and the corresponding symbol on
the printout. What gives??
2. When attempting to print the documents supplied with 4.2 in /usr/doc
they turn out poor. Example: the tbl doc is produced double spaced
and I beleive in the wrong point size. Is the itroff to troff mapping
that poor?
3. I assume there is no way to switch font families (i.e. computer modern
dunhill) with itroff. Is this correct? I have TeX on order. Will this
help??
If there is anyone out there who is experienced in this area and would not
mind a few more questions I would like to talk to you. Thanx in advance.
