Like most PC users, my disk-space is at such a premium that I have all of the .pk files in an automatically-compressed pseudo-disk (Squish-Disk) and still have troubles with room. This idea of starting with one font and only adding those I really use sounds great, and I assume once I know what I need, I can (somehow) collect them all into a library and get at least a smaller sectors-to-files ratio. But what about the .tfm files? Is is possible to have the .pk's for different resolutions on separate floppies and just pop them into the drive when needed? Are the .tfm's only needed at TeX-time or are they used only when rendering a .dvi? Do I really _need_ so many different resolutions or do I only need the ones for screen and printer resolutions? Any emTeX pro's with tight disk-space care to tap-in a short tutorial or a map of their set-up? -- o| Gary Murphy |o |------------------------------------------------------------------------| o| uunet!mitel!cunews!cognos!garym garym%cognos.uucp@ccs.carlton.ca |o | Cognos Inc.
