Thanks to everyone that answered my question about manfnt.mf. The easiest (I can't ftp easily) was (thanks to mahilata@mathi.uni-heidelberg.de) > > it is on the University of Washington tape, or has been, at least, > at a time. Look in /utilityfonts/manualfonts. > I also received the source code. Thanks! Now for a _real_ question. We are building TeX & friends on a Sequent Symmetry running DYNIX/ptx. This is the U of Washington tape and the version of dvips is 5.47. When dvips runs with bitmap fonts, everything is OK. Then we tried to run it using the Blue Sky CM type-1's on our printer's hard drive (QMS PS-1700). We just added the font names to psfonts.map in this form: cmr10 CMR10 etc. Most everything runs through except for certain characters: it seems that ligatures and other "non-ASCII" characters print with zero width, and are subsequently overprinted. So, does anyone have dvips running with the Blue Sky fonts? How? Do later versions work better? Thanks again, Chris Hamlin, mis@aps.org
