For what it's worth, you can use the A command of fed (fed is distributed
with 4.1c and 4.2 BSD, for reasons that escape me) to expand or shrink
a font arbitrarily.  You can do this even without an HP 2648, running
in blind mode.  You say something like A(rtificially) r(esize glyphs
from) ^A (to) ~ (from point size) 10 (to point size) 15 and then sit
and wait.  If you're blowing up the font, it will look pretty ragged,
but then you can do A(rtificially) s(mooth glyphs from) ^A (to) ~,
and it does a crude rounding of square corners.
