[comp.text.tex] Crude mode_def for G3 fax

drstrip@intvax.UUCP (David R. Strip) (02/16/91)

Here's what I used for my experimental dviG3 driver fonts:

mode_def fax =	% fax mode
 proofing:=0;	   % no, we're not making proofs
  fontmaking:=1;		 % yes, we are making a font
   tracingtitles:=0;    % no, don't show titles in the log
    pixels_per_inch:=200;
     blacker:=0;	  % dnn't blacken pens at all
      fillin:=.2;      % and compensate for fillin
       o_correction:=.2;    % but don't overshoot as much
	aspect_ratio:=1/2;   %standard resolution is 200 dpi horizontal, 100
	vertical.
	 enddef;


(pardon the wierd indenting, sometimes cut and paste doesn't work
the way you want.)

This worked fine for me, except of course that the fonts are
ugly at this resolution. Perhaps should have assumed fine mode.
