Does anyone have programs to convert .pxl or .pk fonts to .gf format? I'm interested because I'd like to create HP Laserjet fonts from some of the TeX fonts. X11.R3 includes tools to convert gf -> bdf -> vfont and Henry Spencer has a vfont to HP program. The problem is that I have .pk TeX fonts. Any information on a more direct method would also be appreciated. -- -- Jon Zeeff zeeff@b-tech.ann-arbor.mi.us Support ISO 8859/1 zeeff%b-tech.uucp@umix.cc.umich.edu Ann Arbor, MI umix!b-tech!zeeff

While I haven't looked at the dvijep code yet, I think that you are right - it's probably the simplest way to go. -- -- Jon Zeeff zeeff@b-tech.ann-arbor.mi.us Support ISO 8859/1 zeeff%b-tech.uucp@umix.cc.umich.edu Ann Arbor, MI umix!b-tech!zeeff

X11.R3 includes tools to convert I recently got a dvi->laserjet converter from the net which is able to utilize downloaded resident fonts. It has a utility to download pk fonts, which is pretty much what you want, I guess. Mail follows - let me know if there is general interest. cheers, mah -- Michael Haberler mah@hpuviea.at Hewlett-Packard Austria GmbH, ...mcvax!tuvie!hpuviea!mah Lieblgasse 1 ...hplabs!hpfcla!hpbbn!hpuviea!mah A-1220 Vienna, Austria Tel: (0043) (222) 2500 x412 (9-18 CET)
