Thanks to everyone that answered my question about manfnt.mf. The easiest

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
