We have just gotten Typesetter Independent troff from Bell Labs. The
device we most want to use it on is the Imagen/Canon LBP-10 laser printer.
As distributed, the troff package comes with a dcan.c program that seems
to support a slightly modified version of the Versatec bit-mapped fonts
from Berkeley. The package itself only had a few of the most basic fonts
in a limited number of point sizes.
What we would like is a version of the dcan.c program which uses the
Computer Modern fonts that Imagen distributes with the Canon. We also
hope to use fonts being produced directly by Metafont. We would also
like a version of dcan.c that supports the /usr/lib/vfont fonts as
distributed with 4.1BSD. There seems to be only a slight difference
between the Bell bit-maps and Berkeley's, but I haven't gotten them to
work yet. Any help would be much appreciated.
