I have a LaTeX document that uses fonts cmmi5 and cmmi7. I found that the
characters are too thin when printed on our TI postscript laser printer.
The local sys. admin. suggested adding the lines
mag:=0.3;
mode:=ti;
to the cmmi5.mf and cmmi7.mf files and run the program cmmf on them.
This will work but probably not to great.
[First a disclamer-I am making the assumtion that your TI laser has a
ricoh engine (write-write) and mode:=ti; does do all the stuff needed
for white write engines. Finally I am assuming that your cmmf is not
made for white-write engines]
The TI is a write-white engine. This causes headaches. What you need
to do is grab a version of cmmf that has been built for write-white
engines.
You should write to Pierre MacKay, mackay@june.cs.washington.edu to
see what the newest stuff for ww eng is.
