Dear TeXers/emTeXers, Could you please help me: I am running metafont 2.0 [3a] (emTeX distribution). I enter a simple mf job: (The METAFONT Book, p.31) drawdot(35,70);showit; drawdot(65,70);showit; draw(20,40)..(50,25)..(80,40); showit; shipit; end Now two things happen. Firstly, I lose the cursor and the graphics screen is overwritten by following commands I type. If I try to list the log file (viz: type mfjob.log) then the whole screen turns purple! What's the problem? Secondly, when I try to convert the gf file to a dvi file, viz: gftodvi mfput.260 (gftodvi ver 3.0 [1g]) It commes back with the message, TFM file gray.tfm not found. emTeX comes with graylj.tfm and grayfx.tfm, should I use these, and how? Any help would be greatly appreciated. P.S. For reference I am using 4dos and pcnfs if that is important.
