This includes complete sets [..] From what I gathered, the TeXtures fonts are screen fonts at 72 dpi and printer fonts at 300 dpi in seven or eight \magsteps. The fonts are not compressed (like .pk files are), hence the enormous size. And if you think 9 MB is big: an extended font set is available from Blue Sky Research (the producers of TeXtures) that is supposed to weigh in at 22 MB (uncompressed). Edgar (knapp@cs.utexas.edu)
