tex-k'ers,
I've got tex, xdvik, and dvipsk (all using kpathsea-2.6) working beautifully.
Thanks Karl! I've got a few (final?) questions about the pk files.
I don't want the users making pk files themselves, so I will be disabling
dvips and xdvi from running MakeTeXpk. As a consequence I'll need to make
all the pk files myself (well the common ones at least).
1) Is there some script out there that will do this for me?
2) What sizes do I make? We've got 300 and 600 dpi devices, so obviously
I need those sizes, but I've observed dvips making a few pk files at odd
sizes for the few documents I've processed so far. Are these the result
of differing values of magstep? Should I make 300, 330, 360, 432, etc?
Concerning modes.mf (something I was totally unaware of until now):
3) Does anyone have a stanza for an HP DeskJet 1200C (~300dpi)? If the
modes.mf stanza for this device is much different than for our 300 dpi
LaserWriters (cx) is kpathsea capable of distinguishing between two
different sets of 300dpi pk fonts?
4) What size pk files would xdvi really like to have (and modes.mf?), or does
it really not care? Right now it's using 300dpi pk files generated with cx.
Thanks in advance,
