I did this last week when I got a beta-test dvidrv = which could do the

needed to test the NFSS2.

Mind you, all this stuff about CMR fonts is all dead = end. Surely the
politically corrtect future is rasterizing being done = by the printer,
as PS does (even if Ps is not perfect)? I dont think = LaTeX3Project
should waste its precious resources sorting out = issues which are
fundamental TeX problems.
