[comp.text.tex] Strange fonts associated with Talaris-based TeX

jw@yang.cpac.washington.edu (Jay Whitney) (06/06/90)

Dear TeXperts,

     I use QTeX to print DVI files to a Talaris laser printer.  However,
I would also like to use my XDVI viewer (on a VAXstation w/ VMS & DECwindows)
to help debug without the edit-print-edit-print-edit cycle.

     Here's the rub -- several of the Talaris fonts (pen, ozu, sgn, arc,
etc) are in some unknown format with extensions like FXL and FXP (landscape
and portrait).  I have the PL/TFMs, but this doesn't help to preview,
as this requires PK/PXL fonts.  Is there any way to generate PK/PXL files
for these fonts?

     Has anybody encountered or solved this problem? 


                                           Regards,
                                           Jay Whitney
