The fonts included with dvim72 are 72dpi and 144dpi fonts, which can be used for previewing, but they are really there to enable printing on an Imagewriter I (72dpi) or Imagewriter II (144dpi). Of course 300dpi fonts are used with laserwriters and deskwriters. Pete also mentions Metafont; Indeed there is a version of Metafont for the Macintosh at midway.uchicago.edu, but be forwarned that it is an MPW tool, not a stand alone application. --Walter _____________________________________________________________________________ Walter Carlip **** carlip@ace.cs.ohiou.edu **** (the "3" is invisible) **** c3ar@finite.chi.il.us **** _____________________________________________________________________________
