I am trying to write a troff post-filter for our IBM-3812 pager printer but am limited by the small variety and size of fonts on the printer. Since I have a set of Imagen Impress-10 font description files and also the corresponding raster files I thought I could use these as down-loadable fonts. The problem is that I don't know how to interpret the raster files. Although we have a source licence for our AT&T 3B2/400, there were no source files supplied. Hence the "di10" postprocessor, which must contain all the information I need, is of little value to me. Can someone tell me the format of the raster files for the Imagen printer? (/usr/local/font/devi10/rasti10/<typeface>.<pointsize> on our machine.) Of course the "di10" source code would be better yet, but we don't want to pay much since we don't know if its going to work. Thanks in advance. Donald Ramsay Chemistry Department Carnegie Mellon University InterNet: dr2w@andrew.cmu.edu
