[comp.text.tex] MetaFont definition for SPARCprinter

edguer@alpha.ces.cwru.edu (Aydin Edguer) (05/29/91)

Does anyone have a _good_ working MetaFont mode_def for the SPARCprinter?
I have tried using the mode_def for a CanonCX from the U_Wash.mf file with
pixels_per_inch set to 400 but the fonts are coming out much too thin and
light.  Because the printer is being used to print out funding proposals,
quality of type is _very_ important.

Current definition:
mode_def SPARCprinter =
 proofing:=0;
 fontmaking:=1;
 tracingtitles:=0;
 pixels_per_inch:=400;
 blacker:=0;
 fillin:=.2;
 o_correction:=.6;
 enddef;
