TITLE Implementation of rasterizer for fonts in VTeX format
ABSTRACT: An improved version of TeX compiler has been developed as a part of the project supported by RFBR grant 96-7-89406. This compiler supports scalable fonts in VTeX format developed by MicroPress and satisfies Russian polygraphic standards.

While being more technologically advanced than the previous ones, this approach has the following disadvantages: incompatibility of .dvi files and need to use specialized VTeX drivers. As far as VTeX is not free software, ARTeX will contain drivers to support VTeX .dvi files in order to boost its popularity among members of Russian TeX community.

This paper describes the implementation of rasterizer for VTeX fonts that is going to be used in the drivers mentioned above.
