I am trying to get metafont working on some of my own .mf files. I can get mf on a UNIX system to work on my files but can't seem to make things work on the st. I have all the fonts setup but I may not be setting up things properly. Can anyone who has used MetaFont successfully give me some advice? Particulars: I have a 16 meg partition on my hard drive just for TeX. At the root level I have a \fonts directory which has ALL the fonts from terminator installed. I have gotten TeX and Dvist to work. I have initex and virtex from terminator but when I try to run either on my .mf file I get an exit code of -39 from gulam and nothing (just an exit) from the desktop. My guess is my problem is either the wrong command line options or a bad path setup. I have tried virtex "\mode=screen; input portr70" virtex "input portr70" virtex "\input portr70" Any clues?
