[mod.computers.laser-printers] More questions on the QMS 800

Regarding TeX fonts in ROM: 

We got some for a QMS1200 from Talaris a while back (2 years ago) but
the fonts had been edited by someone who decided that he/she didn't
like the spacing that came with the AMR fonts so he/she 'fixed' it.
Needless to say, the new spacing was terrible and the ROM fonts were
useless. I think they supplied the fonts as part of a QMS printer
package and don't know if they were available separately. I have not
been in contact with the people at Talaris for a while, so I don't
know whether they have put the new CMR fonts in ROM, nor whether they
have 'un-fixed' their fix. But you could try contacting them.

Stephen,
	I have programs which translate pxl files into ROM images for
permanently installing TeX fonts in QMS printers.  I'd be glad to make
them available to you but it may take me a week or so as we are in the
midst of some major hardware changes at Delaware right now.
