How does one make fonts with Metafont? I have all the mf files and I want to make 180dpi fonts to use with a Epson dvi driver. Do I have to make a new base file? I thought that all I had to do was: \mode=epson input fontname then select Q to quietly run. The problem is that my gf files are around 80K. The files that came with a demo version of TeX are around 5K. What am I doing wrong? Also, they are huge when printed out. (Example cmr7 looks like a fifty point font when printed out) Also when I input the mf filename the vifm says that there wierd characters in my mf files. cntrl-m. Why would it see the return character? Anyway I'm stuck and need help. Yours Truly, Ryan Harlicker harlick@plains.nodak.edu
