Dear Experts,

We use the following mode_def to make fonts for our HP Laserjet printers:

mode_def imagen =  % imagen mode: for the Imagen 8/300 (Canon engine)
 proofing:=0;      % no, we're not making proofs
 fontmaking:=1;      % yes, we are making a font
 tracingtitles:=0;    % no, don't show titles in the log
 pixels_per_inch:=300;
 blacker:=0;      % Canon engine is black enough
 fillin:=.2;      % and it tends to fill in diagonals
 o_correction:=.6;    %
 enddef;

The same fonts are being used with our HP Deskjet printers.  Does anyone
know whether or not the Deskjet fonts should be created with different
parameters?

Thanks!
