Hello, everyone:

I have been trying to use 'dvi2hplj' to get prints from an HP laserjet.
I have only dpi180 fonts available. I did get some prints, but the 
letters have been reduced by about half.

I wonder if someone can help me. 

I know little about the 'fonts and drivers'. I got the driver from
my classmate and the fonts used to be for a panasonic printer.

Any advice would be a great help

Thanks.
