[comp.text.tex] Virtual Fonts?

NORM@IONAACAD.BITNET (Norman Walsh) (01/03/91)

Can anyone explain what the virtual font support in TeX (3.xx, I guess)
is for and/or how to use it?  Does it, at least in theory, mean that
I can use .vfm files for scaleable fonts in my LaserJet III at work?
and not have to keep/download .PK files?
                                                        ndw
P.S. Thanks to all that responded to my query about TeX for the amiga.
If I didn't thank you personally, Sorry I missed you...
