  Most postscript fonts do not have multiple rederings for different sizes.
Unfortunate, but it does make it cheaper.  So in theory, photoreduction
can be used to increase the density of dots.  However, to get a high quality
image, you'll want a stat camera.  Which would be expensive.  A xerox or 35mm
camera wouldn't do the job.  It would probably be just as cheap, especially
if you add in the cost of your time, to print the pages out on a lino or agfa.
