The pixels are converted to a font, PostScript Type 3 I think, but
there is no outline that can be filled with very fine dots ...
Since you have found some tons of documentation, you might find some
too about 'modes' of METAFONT. This was an important topic 20 years ago
when the laser printers had a manifold of engines in them and it was
another art to choose the right parameters to make glyphs look perfect
on paper -- which wasn't true when you were printing two pages on one
sheet of paper! You could try to find a 'screen' and a 'printer' mode,
i.e. two complete families of PK files (some 10 MB) ... or produce two
versions: one for your printer in PK and another one with PostScript
fonts for PDF documents (and let the others have problems with their
non-PS printers!). To make this situation less complicated there is
ps2pk which renders PostScript fonts to PK files.
And another ease could be TeXniscope:
http://www.ing.unipi.it/~d9615/homepage/texniscope.html, a DVI viewer,
a fake one, because it converts DVI to PDF with dvipdfmx behind your
back ...
