Hi,
  I'm using the metafont program on my atari to generate some fonts for the
epson printer. All is right until the file punct.mf is treated, and I don't
understand the error message:

>> body_depth#
! Internal quantity `chardp' must receive a known value.
<to be read again>

What is chardp?

I'm very novice with metafont program...
Any answer will be very appreciated.
