I am posting this for a friend who has got limited access to the net. Please contact (e-mail) him directly and not me. Thanks Faisal. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- I am new to TeX and using sbtex 2.93 on a PCompatible. I've two problems and would appreciate if anyone could help me. Please post to the news or better if possible e-mail me directly at M.A.Rahin@uk.ac.lut (from within UK) or M.A.Rahin@lut.ac.uk (from outside UK). 1. I am looking for a decent DVI driver for the HP LJ II printer. I've used DVIJEP (V. 2.10) and DVIHPLJ (from ymir.claremont.edu) but not very happy with the result. The characters came out too thick and not well formed especially for scaled fonts(cmr10 scaled \magstep 1). I've earlier used the same fonts on a QMS-80 (or 8) postscript printer using dvips547 and the resulting output is much nicer and characters are thinner and well formed. Why is this? 2. I want to typeset my whole document in 12 font. I can easily do this for normal, italic, slanted or boldfaced characters. But, how can I do this for math charcters? I've tried some simple methods and at last gave up. At the moment I'm using cmr10 fonts throughout and magnify the whole document to \magstep 1. Can anyone help ? [P.S. I am using plain format and don't have time to learn LaTeX]. Rahin (M.A.Rahin@uk.ac.lut)
