Specifically, where the type faces for the TROFF produced document were selected from the Berkeley Font Catalog. We use four printers: Versatec (200 dpi), Imagen (240 dpi), Imagen (300 dpi), and HP (300 dpi). (Also, preview devices at ~100 dpi are used.) We use three document composers: TeX, TROFF, and SCRIBE. For 200 dpi print devices, we have type faces due to UNIX (TROFF), SCRIBE, and TeX. For other resolutions, we have only the TeX CM (AM) type face. We "observe" that the Imagen support software maps some of the UNIX type styles (Hershey roman, italic, bold, and sans serif) onto the CM fonts. (Mysteriously, the math also gets set.) Is our observation correct? Also, is anyone printing all (styles and sizes) the fonts in the Berkeley Font Catalog on 240 and 300 dpi Imagen systems? If so, how? -------
