Since texinfo.tex comes with emacs this appears to be an appropriate
place to post this.

I have ported TeX for the initial purpose of printing the GNU documents.
TeX is generating the appropriate *.dvi files.  (I have used a dvi2tty
program to verify what comes out is reasonable.)  Now the challenge -- to
get the *.dvi stuff to a printer.  What I have is a LaserWriter.  I would like
to use psdvi,  which generates actual PostScript and then dump that to the
printer.  (Ideas on other methods are welcome.)  Several questions:

GNU uses the computer modern fonts.  I have LaserWriter IInt standard
fonts.  How do I get TeX to format the GNU documentation with LaserWriter
fonts?

GNU texinfo.tex formats the pages for a left page and a right
page, implying double sided printing.  The LaserWriter can't do that.
Do you have any idea what it takes to print it all one side only.  
(Suitable for a 3 ring binder)

Mark.
