If I'm so novice here, I apologize.
I recently acquired a laser printer (Texas Instruments) that is
both HP II and PostScript compatible.
For most of my text processing I use troff. I have DWB II for my
computer and JetRoff shareware for printing in HP mode. However,
I would like to do some of the fancier things available in PS.
Thus, two questions:
1. What troff -> PostScript converters are available? Note, I
am using an AT&T 3B1, so probably there is not much commercial
software for this system.
2. Given that I am using a stock troff (ditroff), how do I reference
the myriad fonts available with PS using the 2 character limits
in troff?
Thanks for your help,
Jon
