While I don't wish to fan the flames any higher, I must agree with
Brian Reid on at least one of the Imagen fonts.  The font that is (I
think) used by default by the itroff software really *is* horrible
disgusting swill, or at least has got one serious problem: the
lowercase I is terrible.  (Myself, I use TeX and the AM fonts, so I
don't know any of the details, really.  I just speak from experience of
reading handouts printed with this font.)

As far as printing engines go, the Imagen 8/300 is just fine.  We haven't
received a LaserWriter yet, but when we do, I'll probably just bring TeX
up on it and get identical output anyway. . . .
