Recently in comp.text.tex, someone posted a file containing MetaFont input to produce a font for drawing springs. I took this file, and ran it through MetaFont, giving me a file called ``spring.260''. My question is, what do I do now? I used gftopk, so now I have spring.pk, but I don't know how to use it. I tried to display it using fntbl.tex (with emTeX), but it barfs, saying it can;t find the .tfm file. How do I get a .tfm file generated? Please help, I obviously don;t know much about MetaFont.
