| Oops,
I forgot to mention that I was looking for 360*360 dpi driver...
Sorry for that,

| 741.2 | NEC DVI-driver as shareware | COL01::SELL | | Wed Jan 31 1990 06:30 | 33 |
| I tried a german TeX version (transfered from PASCAL to C). I like the
speed and the organisation in subdirectories. A GEM-shell controls the
access. There are drivers for screen, 9/24 needle printers and
ATARI-laser. It has a DVI-driver for NEC (P6, P7) in low and high
resolution (180/360dpi). You get drivers and fonts arced on two
doublesided disks (about 2.5 MByte). A METAFONT program allows you to
create missing fonts.
The fonts are in GF to PK format. The directory structure is:
o RES360.NEC
o MAG____0.900
CMCSC10.PK
CMR10.PK
o MAG____1.000
CMCSC10.PK
CMR10.PK
...
The software is distributed like shareware. You pay 60 DM for the last
version and get 15 DM back for each copy you distribute to your
friends. You can get the driver from the author or from me, then I get
15 DM :-). I use the NL10 driver with my EPSON. The width seems to be
restricted here to 8.5 inch, maybe the NEC P7 driver can print wider.
I havn't used the NEC driver.

| 741.3 | So...I'm not the only one using TeX on the ST... | BERN02::NIGL | Franc Nigl/DTN: 761-4764 | Wed Jan 31 1990 11:21 | 18 |
| Thanks for your response Reiner,
I tried a couple of drivers already; like the Epson compatible
and the NEC (360's). I don't have any problems with the Epsons but
the quality is not good enough.
The 360's (Btw: 360's ==> 360*360dpi) seem to be incompatible with
my STAR. The incompatibility is in the Line Feed somewhere. The
Star is able to handle this kind of line feed (1/218 I thought)
but uses another [ESC] as the P6.
Soon I'll receive another EPSON driver which I found last week; It is
a driver with a 360*360 resolution. Maybe that's the one I need.
If not than I'll try to code something.

| 741.4 | Tex -> VAX DOCUMENT font conversions needed | CHEFS::GOSSA | DON'T PANIC!!..Drink more tea! | Thu Feb 01 1990 08:53 | 9 |
| Hi there,
Sorry to interupt the flow, but can someone post a list giving
the corispondance between the Tex fonts (i.e CMR10,CMTI10,CMSL10...) and
their nearest equivalents under Vax Document (for LN03 and PS). I also
wondered in there is any in-DEC documentation of the Tex Language available.
Many Thanks

| 741.5 | Palatino and Century Schoolbook | IJSAPL::KLERK | T.T.F.N. - Ta Ta For Now! | Sat Feb 17 1990 18:08 | 12 |
| The DOCUMENT fonts are all properly scaled pixel fonts (.TFM/.NFT
files) - no enlargements.
They use Compugraphic's Palatino and Triumphate fonts for roman and
sans serif on LN03, and use Centry Schoolbook and Helvetia for the
PostScript equivalents.
Only the math fonts are taken from the PD TeX world.
