I have been having problems in Metafont defining my own printer mode for
making some fonts. Specifically, I am trying to generate fonts for a device
that has 360 horozontal DPI but only 180 vertical, and when I set the
aspect_ratio variable to 1/2, I get wierd results for small characters.
(I'm using an EPSON LQ850, which is ok in 180x180 mode, but there is a
360x180 mode I want to try to get working.)
CMR10 dosen't look right until I hit about magstep2, because at lower mag
all the horozontal strokes are too thick - in fact twice as thick as the
same strokes on my old 180x180 font.
I would also like to know where to get Metafont input for any good fonts
for use with mathematics (particularly the Blackboard Bold font).
Any suggestions/help would be GREATLY appreciated.
P.S. - Anyone know where I can get my hands on the source for a printer
driver - once I get the fonts working I'll need one, and don't
REALLY want to write one complete from scratch!
