metafont parameter settings for xerox write-white print engines and a wide range of other printers are the subject of a regular column in tugboat. current information is maintained by doug henderson, the tug metafont coordinator, dlatex@ucbcmsa.bitnet . the current "best" settings for the relevant parameters, as listed in tugboat 8#2, p 133, are blacker .6 fillin -.3 o-correction .6 there was also a note regarding the choice of these settings, and a longer article by John Gourlay (same issue, p 128) reporting some unexpected behavior by metafont whereby the pen path is modified as blacker increases. suggest you have a look at that article before beginning to manufacture fonts wholesale. -- barbara beeton -------
