Just a few questions:
1) Does anyone know of a PD version of Metafont that is available by FTP?
2) Does anyone know of a *complete* set of .pk fonts that can be used with
the Beebe's drivers and the dvi2herc dvi previewer that comes with
DosTex. (The fonts included from Simtel20 are inadequate)
All I want to do is be able to preview and print dvi files generated by LaTeX
on a PC with a Hercules display and a Panasonic 24 pin dot matrix printer,
respectively while at the same time making efficient use of my 32 meg HD.
3) Are the Beebe drivers the only drivers available to print dvi files?
4) Why don't previewers and printer drivers use TFM fonts so that TeX,
the previewer and printer could use the same set of fonts?
5) Is there a version of CDVI that uses more than the 12 standard TeX fonts?
6) Is there a version of DVIEW that uses fonts other than PXL format?
As you can see......I need some answers!
I would appreciate any help, suggestions or hints (maybe others would to)...
so you can email or post.
