Hi

Not sure if this is the correct news group for this but I am having
difficulty building TeX on an Apollo DN2550.

When I try and say make formats I get the folowing:
----
%make formats
	cd tex; TEXPOOL=.; export TEXPOOL; make formats="tex.fmt latex.fmt slitex.fmt" fmts
	./initex plain \\dump
This is TeX, C Version 3.14t3 (INITEX)
(/usr/local/lib/tex/inputs/plain.tex Preloading the plain format: codes,
registers, parameters, fonts,
! Font \tenrm=cmr10 not loadable: Metric (TFM) file not found.
<to be read again> 
                   \font 
l.396 \font
           \preloaded=cmr9
? help
I wasn't able to read the size data for this font,
so I will ignore the font specification.
[Wizards can fix TFM files using TFtoPL/PLtoTF.]
You might try inserting a different font spec;
e.g., type `I\font<same font id>=<substitute font name>'.

?

-----

the version is TeX3.14

Any help appreciated!!
