Greetings,
  I recently downloaded OzTeX for my Macintosh (Classic, 4 megs,
system 7) and tried to figure out how to make it print to my
StyleWriter. The program itself requires a PostScript printer, but it
also includes a program called DVIM72-Mac that renders DVI files on an
ImageWriter. I can see no reason why the above shouldn't print to a
StyleWriter as well, and it seems to talk to the driver OK. The
problem is that it can't seem to find the fonts my little test
document needs (various Computer Modern styles at magnification 432)
even though the font pathways and name format seem to be set up
right. Has anyone gotten OzTeX to print to a StyleWriter under system
7 (or system 6 for that matter)? Is there another DVI renderer for
TrueType printers? If there's someone out there who can help, I'll be
happy to describe further what I've tried. Email is greatly preferred
and I will summarize to the net if there's interest.
Thanks in advance,
Doug
