2 questions for the TeXies out there:

Where can I get Donald Knuth's TeXbook.  Is it available as TeX source or
must it be purchased pre-printed?

From what I've read, it seems like I'm going to have to get metafont and
some metafont sources to generate .PKs for my Gemini 10x (9-pin dot matrix)
printer.  Has anyone compiled MF for the PC?  Where can I get it?  Am I
right in assuming that our .PKs for a cannon laser engine will not work
correctly?  Does anyone know the proper MF settings for a Gemini 10x?


Thanks in advance,
Neil
