As the title states I am interested in talking with anyone who has or is currently doing this. Situation: we have a professor who has written a book using LaTeX. Using various DVI to PostScript(tm) converters we can convert the 'dvi' file to a PostScript file. The PostScript file can then be transferred using TCP/IP to a Mac front-ending a Linotype RIP30 Postscript processor. The PostScript file is then downloaded to and processed by the RIP30 and typeset by the Linotype L300P. If 300dpi is used throughout all stages then the typeset camera-ready print has type that looks less than optimal. If we create 1270dpi fonts (using Metafont) for cmr10, cmr12, etc. then the letters in the typeset copy are approx. twice their supposed point size (but at the correct position on the page, so that the letters within a word overlap). 12pt letters appear 24 points high and wide. All of attempts at using various DVI to Postscript(tm) converters have yielded the same results (dvips, dvi2ps, dvialw). Some of the dvi to postscript converters have been found to have 300dpi dependencies and we have worked to exorcise these .... If anyone has any 1270dpi or Linotronic PostScript information, experiences, advice, please send mail. - Morrow Long-Morrow@CS.Yale.EDU -- H. Morrow Long Manager of Development Yale Univ.
