[comp.text] .dvi for Linotronic 300

mcdonald@uxe.cso.uiuc.edu (04/25/89)

Does anyone know of a .dvi driver for TeX specifically for the
Linotronic 300? What about getting or making the usual fonts 
(plus a few ones I have cooked up) for it? (At either 1270 or
2540 d.p.i.)

There are several image processing that Linotronic 300's can be made to
understand: Densi, CORA, and PostScript to name a few.  Since
the Mergenthaler(sp?) font set is supposed to be (has been?) converted to
PostScript, and dvi->PostScript drivers are readily available, your best
bet is to use a PostScript driver that is capable of recognizing and
using the fonts on the L300's own hard drive(s).
