This is using dvips538 with the afms distributed with 533, output on what I'm told is an Imagen X308 running ultrascript. The problem is particularly bat if you have lines with the LaTeX logo in them -- I guess somehow the negative kerns are fouling it up? The errors are of the order of I have been using dvips and PS fonts with Mittelbach and Schoepf for some time (to a LaserWriter) for some time, and I have never noticed a problem. Two thoughts: - the AFM files that Rokicki used are not necessarily correct for your Imagen and ultrascript. does that combination guarentee to be using current Adobe metrics? - \LaTeX\ depends on CMR, surely? the precise meddling is not correct for other fonts. sebastian -- Sebastian Rahtz S.Rahtz@uk.ac.soton.ecs (JANET) Computer Science S.Rahtz@ecs.soton.ac.uk (Bitnet) Southampton S09 5NH, UK S.Rahtz@sot-ecs.uucp (uucp)
