I found that the characters are too thin when printed on our TI postscript laser printer. The local sys. admin. suggested adding the lines mag:=0.3; mode:=ti; to the cmmi5.mf and cmmi7.mf files and run the program cmmf on them. This will work but probably not to great. [First a disclamer-I am making the assumtion that your TI laser has a ricoh engine (write-write) and mode:=ti; does do all the stuff needed for white write engines. Finally I am assuming that your cmmf is not made for white-write engines] The TI is a write-white engine. This causes headaches. What you need to do is grab a version of cmmf that has been built for write-white engines. You should write to Pierre MacKay, mackay@june.cs.washington.edu to see what the newest stuff for ww eng is. -- Michael DeCorte // (315)265-2439 // P.O.
