I recently got a non-appletalk deskwriter (the student's store is selling the old models new for $440), and I would like to print TeX files out on it. What experience do people out there have doing this? I have OzTeX, but it only produces Postscript output. I think I've identified 3 options, and I'd like any information and/or opinions people have on any of them: 1) Get a dvi to quickdraw converter. I have dvim72, but it apparently needs 300dpi fonts to work with the Deskwriter. Does anyone have 300dpi fonts for dvim72 or know of another dvi to quickdraw converter? 2) Get TeXtures ($129 at student's store). I've seen it work on an appletalk deskwriter, so I assume it will work on mine. 3) Get Freedom of Press (about $250 mail-order). I heard that there is another less expensive postscript-to-quickdraw conversion program that is less expensive, which I'd also like to know about. I'm a poor grad student, so cost is a BIG issue. Thanks in advance Warwick Daw (warwick@math.ucla.edu)

OzTeX comes with 300dpi fonts. They are in the same format (PK format) that dvim72 requires. -- Gerald A.
