I use emTeX for my work. I tried above suggestion since disk space is tight.
I generated .pk fonts needed for my LaTeX file. When I preview my 
.dvi file on the screen, I found it is much slower to load .pk files than
to load font from .fli files. Is this my problem or it is a problem?
BTW, I use a 286 with an EGA.

Thanks.
