Ok, Netlander-types who own LN03's or LN03+'s:
Our installation has two LN03 PLUS printers connected to our VAX. We have
recently aquired one of the DEC font cartridges for the CG TIMES (RTIMES0)
font set. The cartridge has so far been useless.
What we would like to do is use the font in connection with TeX and
WordPerfect. Both of these require that we get accurate font metric
information for the individual character glyphs. This information did not
come with the font cartridge.
Does anyone know where we can get this information? We wish to build
appropriate TFM files and WordPerfect printer character width tables for
these fonts.
I assume that since this is a proportionally spaced font, any word processor
wishing to make use of it (such as MASS-11), would need this information to
generate line breaks at the very least. So where does the info come from?
