[comp.lang.postscript] Negative Imaging Fonts & Laser Printer

gyp@ccadfa.adfa.oz.au (Patrick Tang Guan Yaw) (02/12/90)

My apology if these questions have been asked before, but
I like to know the following things,

1) Is there any fonts based on Negative Imaging Technology
   available PD or proprietary?  Where?
   The type of fonts that I am looking for are Computer Modern
   Fonts and fonts for Laser printer.

2) If Computer Modern Fonts are available in this technology
   then am I right to assume that I can use the current TeX/LaTeX
   software without any major modification?

3) Is there any PostScript Laser Printer that works on Negative Imaging
   Technology?

Thanks in advance.

What is "Negative Imaging Technology"??  If this is just Australian for
write-white engines, there are write-white modifications for Computer
Modern in a past issue of the TUGBoat, in the public domain.

If it is something else, what about it requires special fonts?  Computer
Modern is specified in METAFont; it should be able to produce fonts for
any technology given the right mode_defs and, in a few more complex cases,
some changes to base macros (as in write-white).
