[comp.text.tex] emTeX fontlib problems

DLV101@psuvm.psu.edu (Dwaine L. VanBibber) (06/13/90)

I'm having difficulty coercing the previewer and HP LaserJet DVI driver
to use the fonts contained in the font libraries. Here's the specifics:

I get the following message when trying to print via prthplj:

   Warning 1205: font CMR12 (D:\FONTLIB\cmr12 <1500>) not found

I verified that CMR12 was in D:\FONTLIB\lj_1500.fl using the /l option, but
DVIHPLJ is not finding it. Rather, I believe it is trying to find the
actual .PK font rather than searching the library file. Here are the contents
of my hplj.cnf:

/p@=D:\EMTEX
/pd=C:\DOC
/pl=D:\FONTLIB; lj_1500; lj_1643; .....
/pf=D:\FONTLIB
/pg=D:\DOC
/pt
/r=300
/h=12

Also, the fonts sometimes found. For example, I had no difficulty printing
the same document with CMR10. The font was found. I have NO pk fonts floating
around, only font libraries. Does this mean that I should not supply /pf?

Question #2: Has anyone tried using the /la# option with DVIHPLJ to compensate
for margin errors. I've gotten strange results when printing adjust.dvi with
/la0/l0 and later using /la# to compensate. It doesn't render the corrected
1in margin as it should.

Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.
