[comp.text] Desperately Seeking DvitoQms

glenn@net1.ucsd.edu (Glenn Sueyoshi) (08/24/88)

We have a Talaris 800 Lasergrafix ( not postscript ) printer
and tex82 (and Common TeX). We desperately want to get TeX out
on our laser printer. The computer driving the printer
is using the Talaris fontmanager to load fonts into the printer 
as they are required and delete fonts from the printer when new font
requests come along. This setup means we need Talaris (or QMS)
font bitmaps on disk for each of the TeX fonts. 

We have 3 or 4 dvi2qms programs that are either broken, too time-consuming to
implement, incomplete, or otherwise incompatible with the fontmanager
and/or SVr2.

Plea: We are in dire need of {\em any} of the following

	-oo) what we have
	...
	...
	-1) mftoqms
	0)  pxltoqms
	1)  QMS font definitions (at least)
	2)  A complete package of dvitoqms and fonts for free (at most) :-)


	or advice from anyone who has TeX producing output
	on a QMS/Talaris 800.

Note:  we do have metafont working on our system and have to ability to ftp
stuff from wherever.

Thanks.

Glenn
