[comp.fonts] TeX fonts for Ricoh engine

tasayco@phoenix.Princeton.EDU (Maria Tasayco) (01/18/91)

Hi! I posted an article in comp.text.tex about problems I have
generating decent fonts for our laser printer, which has a Ricoh
engine. I got some responses, for which I am very grateful, but
unfortunately they were not of much use. The problem is the following:
I am trying to generate bitmap fonts (*.pk) from METAFONT sources for
our laser printer, which is a write-white machine. I used the
definitions for write-white machines which come in the standard TeX
distribution (the white-setup.mf file and the U-Wash.mf file, which
defines a mode for the Ricoh engine), but the results are still very
poor (although much, much better than before!). If anybody has been
able to generate nice fonts (i.e, fonts which look not worse than
those for the Laserwriter!) I would appreciate very much any help!

Thanks for the trouble!
