- How do I modify texinfo.tex so that it uses built-in PostScript fonts
- instead of the standard TeX bitmap fonts?
-
- Background: I'm trying to generate 2-up printouts of the GNU manuals
- (which are in TeXinfo format). Because this process requires the dvi
- output to be scaled (I'm doing something like "dvips -f < gcc.dvi |
- psnup -2"), TeX's bitmapped fonts end up looking cruddy. My
- assumption is that by telling TeX to use PostScript fonts instead, I
- won't encounter these scaling problems.
-
- After perusing the texinfo.tex file, I saw numerous font definitions
- that look like:
-
- ...
- \font\textbf=cmb10 scaled \mainmagstep
- \font\textit=cmti10 scaled \mainmagstep
- \font\textsl=cmsl10 scaled \mainmagstep
- \font\textsf=cmss10 scaled \mainmagstep
- \font\textsc=cmcsc10 scaled \mainmagstep
- \font\texti=cmmi10 scaled \mainmagstep
- \font\textsy=cmsy10 scaled \mainmagstep
- ...
-
- How would I modify these definitions (and the others in this file) to
- cause TeX to use the appropriate PostScript fonts?
-
- Thanks,
-
