modes

A collection of MetaFont mode_def's.

The "modes" file aims to collect all known modes for printing or display devices, of whatever printing technology. Special provision is made for "write-white" printers, and a "landscape mode" is available, for making suitable fonts for printers with pixels whose aspect is non-square.

The file also provides definitions that make "specials" identifying the mode in MetaFont's GF output, and put coding information and other "Xerox-world" information in the TFM file.
