Howdy.  We have this NeXT machine kicking around, and since I noticed
that it had a copy of TeX and METAfont which came with it, I figured
I'd put it to good use and set my various work papers on it as well as
play with some of the fonts.  Well, much to my annoyance, when I run
METAfont on some of the .mf files I picked up, it does everything BUT
write the .tfm files, even though the output log says that it did
(it's wrong).  This is enormously inconvenient -- to say the least :-)

Does anyone have any suggestions on how to get around this problem...
or do I have to snag a new copy of METAfont?

Just wondering

DY :-)
