I have a MetaFont problem trying to generate the small caps font at an
effective size of about 9pt (mag=0.8967) which is being asked for by the
REVTeX macro package. While MF is clear about the problem, ("capacity
exceeded, sorry [number of strings=598].", see the log below) I'm not
adept enough to know what to poke before rebuilding. I have all the
sources from DECUS, so if someone could tell me what parameter to
modify, I can easily rebuild the source. Thanks!
