back to the simple .pk world??
Tom> the file seems to call for some strange &tmrm or some such
Tom> PK file.
&tmrm.tfm is posted and the same as rptrm.tfm. The sample seems
vf based on Adobe type1. It seems self contained using tmrm.tfm,
tmrm.vf and raw &tmrm.tfm. I *guess* its is Zlatushka's .vf from
his program accents (??).
Have we here the reason why not a single .vf made by Jiri's
"accents" program has ever been posted??
Tom> I don't see Adobe widths entering into things at all, anywhere.
When The PS interpreter lays down the sequence of type1 Times
characters "kompilace" I believe that Adobe widths plus of
course initial position rounding to grid and (unspecified,
possibly mysterious) Adobe drift control are what determine
the character positions.
Tom> So, please send me the remaining files (might as well be complete about

Tom> and .pk files needed at the various resolutions---and throw in a .dvi

I would second this Peter! As I have been explaining the Adobe
example involves unknowns that are probably a commercial secret may
even be printer dependant. So if there is a similar purely ".pk"
example it should be dealt with first!
