Here we have only circle10 and circlew10. The fonts themselves contain
all the different sized circles.

Am fonts are obsolete. The easiest way to convert is to change all
references from "am" to "cm". There will be a couple of odd typefaces
missing, but in general this will work.

It sounds to me like your printer driver isn't downloading the TeX
fonts and you are getting the native fonts on the printer, which have
the ligatures in different positions.  You didn't say what printer
language the 3220 accepts. You might want to get a better dvi to ?
driver.

Incidentally, recent distributions of Unix TeX require that you bring
up METAFONT to generate any extra sizes you need. You definitely need
METAFONT for SliTeX, unless somebody else sends you the fonts.

There is a mailing list for La/TeX discussion. Mail
texhax-request@score.stanford.edu to join. Bitnet users should mail a
message saying SUBSCRIBE TEX-L to the LISTSERVER at tamvm1.bitnet.
