How to create faxes using PasTeX and AmigaFax? 1) Append the files 'config/DVIprint.printers' and 'config/modes', which accompanied this ReadMe-file, to 'TeX:config/DVIprint.printers' and 'TeX:config/modes' respectively. 2) Append 'inputs/PasTeX-modes.mf' to 'TeX:inputs/PasTeX-modes.mf'. 3) Now you have to rerun Metafont. Issue the command cd TeX:bases inimf plain.inimf or execute the script 'MakeMFBase'. 4) 'DVIprint.printers' contains the definitions of two new printer drivers, namely FaxFine (216 x 216dpi) and FaxNormal (216 x 108dpi). Everything is set up now, but you still have to create the new 216dpi fonts. The easiest way to achieve this is as follows: a) Create a TeX-document, you wish to send as a fax. b) There are a two possible ways to convert a dvi-file into a fax: You either direct the output of DVIprint to an iff-ilbm-file, include it in an AmigaFax document via the '.INC'-command and then compile this document using mkafax or you just use dvifax to convert a dvi-file into a fax. The latter is more efficient and saves you from the iff-ilbm-kludge. But remember your situation: you do not have any fonts, yet, and dvifax does not automatically invoke Metafont in order to create the fonts needed. This is why I suggest that you use DVIprint to create the fonts and later on use dvifax. In order to create fonts you should invoke DVIprint, specify FaxFine or FaxNormal as your printer driver and direct the output to an iff-ilbm-file. c) If everything worked fine, Metafont has created new fonts which now reside in your TeX:pk directory. Make sure that these fonts are located in directories like TeX:pk/216 or TeX:pk/311 etc., otherwise dvifax will not find them. Supposing you do not use different fonts or magnifications in your TeX-document created under a), you can from now on use dvifax to create your faxes. If dvifax fails to find a font, you should reassure yourself whether the respective font is located in the proper directory or whether it exisists at all. In the latter case you have to invoke Metafont as described under b). Fax support for PasTeX has been provided for you by Martin Horneffer <2:242/7.9@Fidonet> and Martin Steppler <2:242/7.12>
