Does such a program exist? I have some esoteric TeX fonts that I'd like to install on my laserwriter. Scott Baden

An accepted way of printing TeXed documents is to use the program, dvi2ps. It requires that you have some form of already generated presized set of font definitions (as opposed to metafont definitions) such as gf, pk, or pxl format fonts. One of the most current releases of dvi2ps also allows for the use of builtin fonts. This same version of dvi2ps also uses the pk format fonts which use up the least ammount of space of the three afformentioned formats. If I recall correctly, most of the software involved is distributed with the UNIX TeX tape and the dvi2ps is probably available somewhere for anonymous ftp (upenn?). -- Eliot Lear [lear@rutgers.edu]
