Hi. I would like to obtain a list of fonts that are included in the 
lj_0.fli font library file. I am puzzled by one thing, however. I have
been using TeX with the notion that lj_0, 1, 2, 3, etc. are corresponding
scaled sizes for fonts that are found in all font libraries. However,
why wouldn't TeX scale fonts larger or smaller using just one font 
library? Is the lj_0.fli file a collection of many different fonts 
at various point sizes all scaled at zero? If so, why does TeX need 
separate font library files for different scaled magnifications when
just one set is needed?

Thanks
