The .tfm files for psdvi are set up for a 1-point design size, so for 9 point Helvetica, you'd say \font\foo=Helvetica at 9pt The version of dvi2ps that handles Adobe fonts uses similar .tfm files set up for a 10 point design size. This has the advantage of making font scaling look the same for Adobe and CMR fonts. -- Amanda Walker <amanda@intercon.UUCP> InterCon Systems Corporation -- "Those preachers are right--there's more in these songs than meets the eye..." --Arlo Guthrie
