If there exists a driver for HP LJ4 at all, which I suppose there must be,
then it's just a matter of METAFONT-ing the cm fonts to 600 dpi. Such
cm fonts probably already exists somewhere.
Unless dvi to HP LaserJet drivers are hardcoded to look for 300 dpi fonts?
This doesn't seem reasonable.
In summary, such a program already exists. Just pull 600 dpi PK files from
somewhere, or create your own. It's not difficult ;-)
