I would like to know what the limit to size of character in a font
download to a DEC LN03 printer is. I have now designed out company logo
using metafont. I can print it out on the postscript printers okay. When
I try to use the LN03DVI or DVI2LN3 programs, the file sent to the printer
gives me a '12 - Illegal codes in down-line-loaded fonts' error. I am using
a character approximately 0.375in tall and about 1.5in long. If I change the
mf file so the character is 0.1in tall and 0.4in long, it prints! If I use
the bitmap capabilities of the LN03Plus, it prints for both sizes but the
download file is HUGE! AM I running into a limitation to the LN03 or is there
a problem with the conversion programs?
