- If you would like a font to be at a size of 1000, would I have to compile the
- font at "1000", or could I compile the font at the normal heigth and believe
- the LaTeX/TeX compiler will automatically scale the font? This is the same for
- .pk files. Do I have to compile, for example, METAFONTS at the desired
- magnification, and then convert to .pk? And when I'm using the dvi driver to
- print, do the fonts to be used in the file have to be listed in the command
- line of the dvidrv program? This would seem to be a pain, wouldn't it be
- appropriate for the .dvi file that is being loaded by dvidrv to automatically
- call up each .pk file it needs to use? (same thing when using .tfm font
- metrics when compiling .tex files --> .dvi).
