I cannot work out why MakeTeXPK is not invoked by latex
when there is a missing font, even when it has been
fully modified for local useage and all the environment
variables are defined. So now I wish to you the script
manually by specifying on the command line.

Can somebody give me a few clues?

Say, for example, if I wish to generate the font cmr10.746pk

This is what I've tried:

MakeTeXPK cmr10 746 300 1.0 CanonCX

The output is then written to cmr10.300gf and of course
then it cannot find the 746 font. I've tried the
other combinations but no luck. I think the above
command is right although I do not really understand
what bpdi (base resolution) and mode (printengine)
mean?

Can anyone help a desperate person??!*&%?
Mark.
