I've installed TeX on a Unix machine and I currently use dvi2ps. What I've been trying to make work is a psdvi program that came the TeX tape. psdvi includes .tfm files for the adobe fonts and the LN03R and LPS40 printers have 29 fonts built-in, but my output looks like one point high characters (properly formatted). I've tried messing with the magstep in my TeX source, the "correction factor" in the psdvi source, and the postscript prolog file without getting the desired results. Though I use the write-white fonts for the LN03 with dvi2ps, the built-in fonts look cleaner to me. There's also the difference in file size between psdvi and dvi2ps that concerns me. I'd appreciate any (reasonable) hints. -Paul Buster buster@tramp.colorado.edu
