I have used the DVIFX program that comes with emTeX and it works
fine. But you need all the fonts for the program and I got it from
stuttgart by ftp. The last time I looked I did not see the complete
set of fonts on terminator.cc.umich.edu. Eberhard Mattes now has
an integrated DVIDOT program that works with a lot of dot-matrix
printers. Again, you need the various fonts. 

In conclusion, I'd say that emTeX is a wonderful implementation.
