- I have used Tex on a PC for several years, but recently made the transition to a
- HP 720 workstation. In spite of the many advantages, I am unable to do what I
- thought would be a relatively simple task and would like assistance.
-
- I prepare overhead transparencies for teaching and seminars using
- \magnification=\magstep4 Using the same dvi file, I use dvihp (from Arbortext)
- to print a full size version of each page and to also print a reduced copy
- with four transparencies per page for handouts. This was easily done using an
- options file for DVIHP.
-
- I have two problems trying to carry out this process on my workstation.
-
- 1. When I preview using xdvi, I get messages like the following
-
- Can't find font cmsy5 at 622 dpi; using 300 dpi instead.
- Can't find font cmsy7 at 622 dpi; using 300 dpi instead.
- Can't find font cmmi7 at 622 dpi; using 300 dpi instead.
- Can't find font cmr5 at 622 dpi; using 300 dpi instead.
-
- and the printed copy (prepared using dvilj) has subscripts that are the wrong
- size. This was never a problem on the PC (using PCTeX). How do I get the
- missing fonts?
-
- 2. The meager documentation I have for dvilj (man pages) does not seem to provide
- instructions on how to reduce and print four logical pages on one physical page.
- Is this possible? Or do I need a different laser printer driver?
-
- I would appreciate any possible assistance or advice. Replies to this group or
- e-mail are fine.
