[mod.computers.vax] Converting *.TFM to *.NFT to support LN03 laser printer

SYSTEM@CUGSBVAX.BITNET (03/05/86)

I'm looking for a font convertor to translate the standard *.TFM
TEX font files to the *.NFT files required by the DEC LN03 laser
printer. The standard TEX distribution tape has some but not all
of the fonts already converted in the [..tex.ln03] directory.

I'm not currently on the Info-VAX list so please direct replies to

We are getting an LN03 for our uVAX-II, 'cause our 780's versatek is being
worked to death. Now we need a UNIX driver for the LN03 that eats troff and tex
output.  We got some (to me) outrageous quote from "Image Network" for their
Xroff - but all we need is a driver and some fonts (I think).
Any ideas? Any public domain stuff?

I would like to thank my parents, my friends, the authors of books I've read,
and life itself for helping me form these opinions. However none of the
afore-mentioned necessarily agree with what I have said here.
