[ battles with metafont ]
In the same thread, I used a PS n-up package to print the
final postscript four to a page to save some paper. (the
GNU make doco is 100 pages long.)  It would still be quite readable
_except_ that resolution of the fonts _as printed_ is something
to be desired.

I presume this is because I generated fonts at 300 dpi and when
they get printed on a 4up page, the effective resolution
is  half that.  SO, I tried asking for 600dpi fonts.  However
MakeTeXPK associates the res. with a `mode' which indicates
the print engine.  So I lied to it, and modified my local
MakeTexPK and my mf/inputs/<blah>-site.mf file to generate
600 dpi even for my printer.  But this didn't work for some
reason; it kept on not recognizing my request for 600dpi
properly.  (the symptom being that when it doesn't find some
resoltion printer combination that it likes it goes into
'proof' mode and starts laboriously showing each symbol in a huge
X window)

Q1: IS my analysis correct (I need to generate higher res. tex fonts
to get better output on an N-up page) 

Q2: IF so, does anyone have an idea of what I can do to get such
higher res. fonts.

Thanks in advance,
