Pressing the -/+ key successively would reduce or increase the size even more. I presume it is describe in the dvidrv .dvi manual in German. Certainly it's a great idea to have a mailing list of emTeX users. EM is doing a good job providing the FAQ and doc with this package.

EM warns of this in the document. What happens is that v show the fonts `real size'. Since we are using 300dpi fonts, that explains the huge size on the screen. The best solution, I think, would be to use smaller fonts. Something like 90 and 75 dpi which are better suited for the screen. I haven't installed these yet. If someone out there has a better solution, I am listening.

Before getting emtex I used dvivga to preview .dvi files on a pc with
a standard vga graphics card and monitor. dvivga came with font files
with the correct resolution for the vga screen. I put these font files
into .fli libraries for the dviscr program and wrote a configuration file
and batch file to drive it. The result was the emtex previewer with the
screen resolution fonts. BUT the results were not as good as the subsampled
300dpi laserjet fonts zoomed down to screen size. Hence I abandonded them
and went back to using just the lj fonts for everything.

I would like to add that using same set of fonts for screen and for
printer is not a curse but a blessing. Did you ever have a problem that
a file can be previewed but can not be printed or a file can not be
previewed but can be printed? With emTeX, you will never have such
problems.
I don't have the epertise/access in setting up a mailing list for
emTeX. I can, if needed, provide help in such an effort. The author of
emTeX told me that there is a mailing list in German.

Metafont does not work properly with such small resolutions. It is much better to scale down the other fonts. -- ------------------------------------------------------- Klaus Hartnegg, Kleist-Str. 7, D-7835 Teningen, Germany Bitnet : HAKL@DFRRUF1 or HARTNEGG@CERNVM Internet : HAKL@ibm.ruf.uni-freiburg.de
