I had thought TeX was line printer friendly at some
point and only later
evolved to support matrix-type devices?
TeX was originally developed to produce output on a digital typesetting
system (whose name is escaping me right now) which produced output at
more than 4500 dots/inch. Everything else is a development from that.
