How do I modify texinfo.tex so that it uses built-in PostScript fonts instead of the standard TeX bitmap fonts? Background: I'm trying to generate 2-up printouts of the GNU manuals (which are in TeXinfo format). Because this process requires the dvi output to be scaled (I'm doing something like "dvips -f < gcc.dvi | psnup -2"), TeX's bitmapped fonts end up looking cruddy. My assumption is that by telling TeX to use PostScript fonts instead, I won't encounter these scaling problems. After perusing the texinfo.tex file, I saw numerous font definitions that look like: ... \font\textbf=cmb10 scaled \mainmagstep \font\textit=cmti10 scaled \mainmagstep \font\textsl=cmsl10 scaled \mainmagstep \font\textsf=cmss10 scaled \mainmagstep \font\textsc=cmcsc10 scaled \mainmagstep \font\texti=cmmi10 scaled \mainmagstep \font\textsy=cmsy10 scaled \mainmagstep ... How would I modify these definitions (and the others in this file) to cause TeX to use the appropriate PostScript fonts?
