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 :-) =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=+=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= D M Yoshikami :-) ;-) :-) | Internet: yoshikami@usuhsb.ucc.usuhs.nnmc.navy.mil May the Forth be with you! | Bitnet : yoshikami@usuhsb.bitnet *** !!xob X*NU V METSYS T&TA eht ni renosirp dleh gnieb m`I !pleH !pleH *** =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=+=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
