Edit Makefile from this directory +to reflect the default resolution of your printer, the location +of your binary and "man" directory. + +Copy the files afm2tfm.c, Makefile and MakeTeXPK to divps576/dvips/. + +See xdvi/README for hints on the man directory. + +Create a master directory DVIPSconf if you haven't done so already, goto +dvips576/dvips, run mk_TeX_dir, mk_MF_dir, and make install. + +Edit DVIPSconf/config.ps to reflect paper size and resolution of +your printer. To make dvips generate missing .pk fonts automatically, +the resolutions in config.ps and in the mf mode "localfont" must +agree. + +Hint: With an A4 papersize you might want to adjust the origin +to 1in-3mm,1in+8.8m. This line in config.ps does that: +O -3mm,8.8mm + +This will give you equal left and right margins with Plain TeX's +predefined \hsize of 6.5in, and therefore the pagenumbers will line up +nicely on two sided output. + +Enjoy, +Wolfgang |
