At the beginning of this week we finally got our Xerox Docutech
printer connected to the PostSCript Engine, and we can now happily
generate output at a "real" 600 dpi.

The quality is really good, but there are a few problems:

The Blue Sky type 1 PostScript renderings of the Computer Modern 
fonts come out too thin. Has anybody on the net have the same 
impression (B.T.W. the same is true for the same fonts on their
4050/4090 300dpi printers). I talked to Xerox, and they say they
are preparing a "patch" for this kind of behaviour (being a write-white
engine, it seems that there is too little "black" output on the page, 
and so the gray is too white, leaving shading barely visible in some cases.
Does somebody else have a similar experience, and could it be
solved more or less easily (w/o having to wait for Xerox).
Why would the type 1 Blue Sky fonts come out too light, when
the other PS fonts (Times and friends) come out more or less normally?

On the other hand I am using some MF fonts, for which I do not have the
PostScript fonts, so I have to generate the fonts at 600 dpi for that
printer. Does anyone on the net already the MF mode-setting parameters
for the Docutech (or the 4135) of Xerox?

Thanks for your help.
