How to make texinfo.tex use PostScript fonts?
#1600

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?

Thanks,

Vivek
