Message-ID: <187@sol.warwick.ac.uk> Date: Fri, 12-Dec-86 06:50:48 EST Article-I.D.: sol.187 Posted: Fri Dec 12 06:50:48 1986 Date-Received: Mon, 15-Dec-86 20:13:10 EST Reply-To: cudcv@daisy.warwick.ac.uk (Rob McMahon) Organization: Computing Services, Warwick University, UK Lines: 22I finally got my dvi->2700 driver working, but the fonts I get from converting the TeX cm* fonts to 2700 format are really weedy. Looking at them shows they often have lines only one pixel wide, and this just doesn't work very well on the 2700. I assume this is a write-white vs. write-black problem, so that's my first question - Am I right ? Now, I have all the metafont input to these fonts, so I'm thinking it must be possible to produce some more appropriate fonts. I would hate to spend weeks wading through the sources tweaking this parameter and that, only to find I could have put a "write_white:" statement at the top of one of the files, so my next question is - How do I tell metafont to produce thicker characters ? (Assume I know nothing about metafont in your answers - this is pretty close to the truth). Thanks in anticipation. -- UUCP: ...!mcvax!ukc!warwick!cudcv JANET: cudcv@uk.ac.warwick.daisy ARPA: cudcv@daisy.warwick.ac.uk PHONE: +44 203 523037 Rob McMahon, Computer Unit, Warwick University, Coventry CV4 7AL, England
