Re: death to word

[Harry Binswanger hb@xxxxxxxx]

When you say 'get a difference in
line-width' do you mean a difference in line-height (i.e., leading)
?


No, by width I meant width. I get the same type, of the same width, with
the same inter-character spacing and inter-word spacing. The only change
is fewer words per line, so a wider right margin.


 I ask because if
you say you are getting no difference in width of letters or letter
spacing, you have eliminated the two principal parameters for increasing
line width (which I am taking to be roughly synonymous to line
length).


What do you mean "eliminated"? From consideration or from
operation?

What I did is to print out two

 using both an HP 4050 laser calling hp4-plus.prn. I
get a difference in line-width but no difference in either the width of
letters or the letter-spacing. I'm trying to get results from an Epson NX
ink jet calling hpdj560c.prn, but so far it is putting out
garbage.

PS isn't necessary.  works with any scalable Speedo
font,

and, of course, a printer that can scale them. Worked fine with my

HP LaserJet, of happy memory, loading HPLJ-2P.PRN.
