Well, it depends on what you mean, but the basic answer is yes. By that I mean that if you have some type 1 printer fonts and a TeX format (such as a customized LaTeX) that uses them, then these fonts will be rendered full resolution on screen and printer. Note, however, that the Computer Modern fonts that come with TeXtures, and the full set available separately for $85 dollars are just large bitmaps, they are not outline fonts. Blue Sky currently offers a postscript version of the CM fonts for $395 but they are Type 3 fonts. This means that they are not ATM compatible, and also that -- since they do not have hints -- they look good only on high resolution printers like linotronics. They hope to have a type 1 font set available in the next couple of months that will be ATM compatible and of good quality even at 300 dpi. Now, my question is does anyone know of another source for a set of Postscript type 1 TeX fonts. I have a custom LaTex set up to use Times/Helvetica/Courier (as well as some other combinations) but I don't know any way to get around the need for CM Math snd the line drawing fonts. Are there any options other than waiting for Blue Sky to get their type 1 fonts out? I really would like to reclaim the 23 megs of font space on my disk.
