On windows, XP, SP2, using latex2html 2008 version, I get the following
when I set
$PK_GENERATION = 1 in the l2hconf.pm file
Why would you want this now?
Hello Ross;
I have no idea.
I was just trying to make the bitmapped math on my screen look more sharp,
so I was reading this document
http://www.math.vt.edu/people/linnell/l2h_man.pdf by Nikos Drakos "The
Latex2html Translator" dated 2004, and on page 13 at the bottom, it says
"The installation variable $PK GENERATION specifies which fonts are used in
the generation of mathematical equations. A value of "0" causes the same
fonts to be used asthose for the default printer. Because they were designed
for a printer of much greater resolution than the screen, equations will
generally appear to be of a lower quality than
is otherwise possible. To cause LATEX2HTML to dynamically generate fonts
that are designed specifically for the screen, you should specify a value of
"1" for this variable. "
So, I figured, i''l try it, what do I have to lose? even though I do not
know much about how all font business really works at this time.
That is an old option for when fonts used to be made up
of bitmaps. THat is out-dated technology now, by 10 years
or more.
Instead, modern TeX installations have scalable outline-based
fonts, in PostScript, TrueType or OpenType formats.
To use these LaTeX2HTML has a $SCALEABLE_FONTS variable, and
$DVIPS_OPTS (or similar name) to customise how your installation
finds which fonts to use.
Ok, I'll look into this.
Thanks!
