Hi Everybody:
I just installed fptex on Windows 2000 and I am trying to print from =
windvi and also converting to postcript using dvips.Upon directly =
printing from windvi I got fonts that were too large and only printed =
part of the page. The help from windvi says that it has to be configured =
for the specific printer
by specifying the -p and -mfmode options. However I do not know how to =
find out which are the appropriate parameters for my printer. I have a =
NEC Silenwriter Model 95f postcript printer. I also would like to pring =
in some laser HP printer, Is there a way of finding out the parameters =
for different printers? Is there a way of configurgin windvi without =
having to use the command prompt?
Meanwhile I have been converting to postcript and printing with =
ghostview. However, for some reason the upper margin is too small, which =
does not occur when I use dvips from teTex on a UNIX machine. I thought =
that maybe dvips came with A4 paper by default but so far I have not =
been able to change that. I changed the config.ps file to have=20
@+ %%PaperSize: letter
and commented the corresponding one for A4 paper, but that did not do =
the job. Could anyone tell how to configure dvips to correctly print on =
US letter paper?
One further question: For some reason finding things on the TexShell =
does not work poperly for me. The cursor does find the string, but the =
display does not move to the desired location. Has anyone had that =
problem?
Congratulations to the builders of fptex. It seems like a good piece of =
software as teTex is for UNIX machines.
Thank you.
