[comp.sys.atari.st] METAFONT: help, where are the docs?

cs325ec@ux1.cso.uiuc.edu (04/07/90)

	I downloaded metafont... because in printing Uniterm's tex manual,
	the dvi previewer says 'cmr17/87pk' not found.  So I got cmr17/pk150
	and cmr17.fmt from our Unix system and popped them in, but it still
	gives the same error.  Does metafont scale these fonts?  No doc was
	included and man metafont does not show anything on our Unix...

	Can someone help me convert 150pk to 87pk (scale it?).

		Thanks.
