I am using the EmTeX MetaFont and MFJob to create fonts for my DeskJet Plus. The supplied default is to create fonts for a LaserJet. In general these fonts work fine except that because the DeskJet has a slightly finer Dot resolution, the thin parts of some letters seem a bit too thin when compared to the output from a LaserJet. I don't have the Metafont Book ( could anybody supply me with the ISBN number), and I am rather unfamilier with Metafont, I was hoping that someone could suggest some modifications to the "local.mf" supplied with EmTeX to work better with the DeskJet. The LaserJet definition they use is as follows: mode_def hplaser = proofing:=0; fontmaking:=1; tracingtitles:=0; pixels_per_inch:=300; blacker:=0; fillin:=.2; o_correction:=.6; enddef; I have tried adjusting some of the values, but with little luck in making a difference. Because of the time needed to generate fonts, I am soliciting help on how to make a small bit bolder. thanks. ------- |~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~|~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| | Christopher J.
