(TeX) Has anyone printed a .dvi on a PaintJet?

Post by Jason Web » Fri, 09 Dec 1994 08:28:05



I tried a post on the TeX newsgroup, but nobody responded.
So, I'll try here.

I want to print*on a PaintJet.  I can create a .dvi
and preview it.  However, if the DVI program (dvi363.lha) is in a mode
other than 100dpi or I don't alter MakePKFont.rexx from
OneZeroZero to "previewer", I get 2602dpi from VirMF (proof mode?).
I can print 100dpi micro-letters on the PaintJet using something
like HP-lores (also 100dpi), but it's of little use..

Am I doing something wrong?  I can't anything except 100dpi,
144dpi (large type for preview?), or 2602dpi from MetaFont.

If I do ever get VirMF to work, will the DVI program work on a PaintJet
or is there something else to use?

Or is there no way to print on a PaintJet?

Why didn't you try to mail to the authors (e.g. me)!?

Yes! MakePKFont.rexx contains the Metafont modes needed with the PasTeX
distribution. If your Metafont implementation doas not recognize "OneZeroZero"
(for 100dpi fonts) or "CanonCX" (for 300dpi fonts), it will create a font in
"proof mode", i.e. with 2602dpi. So try to change "OneZeroZero" to "previewer"
and "CanonCX" to whatever your Metafont implementation needs to create 300dpi
fonts.

1. DVI interpreters for TeX

        Thank you for everyone who responded to my search for an
interpreter.

        One more question, though.  Where can I get the
previewer.fonts disk that ShowDVI asks for?  (It is not with the
PasTeX distribution on ab20...)

        Thanks again,
