Aucbvax.2523 fa.unix-wizards utzoo!decvax!ucbvax!HEP@CIT-20 Tue Aug 4 08:28:27 1981 Alternate troffs/Versatec fonts query From: HEP at CIT-20

Do you know anything about alternate versions of troff? We've heard that there is a version that exhibits a 40%-60% speed improvement over v7/32V troff. We're also interested in any versions of troff designed to drive an 8-font phototypesetter, or so-called "device independent" troffs.

Also, if you have a digitized version of the BTL commercial II and special fonts suitable for a Versatec (200 dots/in.) we'd very much like to hear from you. The 4bsd Hershey fonts aren't quite good enough for eqn's liking.

Replies may be sent to ucbvax!cithep!troff or chico!cithep!troff. --------
