I was delighted to discover recently that when I run MetaFont on
my Sun 3, while also running X, the showit command causes a separate
xterm window to pop up, where the newly created font is displayed.
Now I installed X, and I also installed TeX and MetaFont, yet I did
not do anything explicitly to cause this to happen. Could somebody
comment on how MetaFont talks to X? Where can I find documentation
on the relationship between TeX/MetaFont and X? Thanks!
