[comp.sys.amiga] Having problems with TeXF?

This is to remind people that if you are trying to use version
2.6 of the TeXF program to generate AmigaDOS fonts, and you are not
using the TeXF fonts included in Fred Fish's distribution, you will
get the very unfriendly and misleading error message:

  Error: PK font name specified twice?

This only happens when you try to specify a PK font file name as the
argument, rather than an AmigaDOS font name (which causes a lookup in
a mappings file). Because a mapping is provided with the TeXF on the
Fish disks, you'll have no problem using the program with the 70+
fonts on that disk; but as soon as you try it on a font from another
source you'll get the above error message.

A kludgy solution is to try to create a mapping file (using the one provided
as a guide), or to get TeXF 2.6. (The one at purdue is still 2.5, but I will
mail them 2.6 asap.) Or send mail to me.
