I just downloaded the ST port of Metafont and the .mf files that 
went with it.
These were sent on comp.binaries originally along with a second bunch
of fonts; (mf_files, I think), but it seems that the distribution is still
missing several key files.

For instance, I tried the example command in the text that came with
the binaries:

virmf '\mode=epson; \mag=1.2; \input cmr10'

and it tried to call several files I didn.t have....romanu.mf, romanp.mf,
greeku.mf, romspl.mf, etc.

Am I missing something obvious or am I just missing something?
Is there another set of fonts I need or as a thought, can I use the .tfm
files from my local Unix system???

Thanx

James Parker
