   You may also want to check out font availability.  Even though
   Interpress allows you to scale a font to any size, the printer may
   implement this with a table lookup to a set of non-scaleable fonts.  If
   this is the case you must obtain (buy) font bitmaps for each size you
   ever expect to use.

Steve Procter of the Berkeley VorTeX team has written a program that
converts TeX fonts to Interpress fonts, or does something else that
allows you to use TeX fonts on an Interpress printer.  Contact
vortex@renoir.berkeley.edu for details, or maybe it was
vortex@ucbvax.berkeley.edu.  I don't know anything more about this.
There was something about it on this list from Prof. Michael Harrison
a couple weeks ago, but I didn't save it.
