I keep running into font problems that I can't figure out from the
documentation (I guess I've got to buy the canonical 5-book set
someday.)   I'd appreciate any advice on the following:

1. I regularly run into a problem where fonts in unusual sizes are not
available, e.g. today when someone wanted amss10.3110pxl.  How can I get
fonts at particular sizes when they are not part of the distribution?

2. Space for the fonts is getting a little tight here, in part because
we need both 118-pixel fonts and 300-pixel fonts.   We have both Imagens
and Laserwriters around.

2.1  Is there a PK-form (or other compressed form) driver available for
the Imagen?

2.2  While we're on the subject, how about an imagen driver that
includes options to print only selected pages?  The one we have does
not. 

3.  We now have a bunch of Macs and several Mac II's available here.  We
are doing a lot of illustrations with them.  What is the best way to
include the illos and diagrams into TeX and LaTeX using either
LaserWriter or Imagen?

3.1  In particular, can someone tell me about whatever special magic (or
\special magic) is needed to put arbitrary PostScript stuff into the
middle of a TeX file to be printed on a laserwriter?

4.  Is TeXHaX being mailed out any more?  I no longer get them, and have
not been getting them for a couple of months at least.

Thanks for all responses,
