[comp.text] Need help with METAFONT

daved@cbnewsl.ATT.COM (david.dougherty) (11/17/89)

Last night, I attempted to build the font 'cmman' on my PC, using
TurboMETAFONT (from the Kinch Computer Company). Needless to say,
I wasn't successful! Following is the contents of 'cmman.log.' Can
somebody out there help me?

cmman.log:

This is METAFONT, Version 1.7 (preloaded base=cm 89.7.26)  16 NOV 1989 20:25

Well, that's it. Note that I tried using '&plain' on the command line in
place of '&cm', to no avail. What am I doing wrong? My thanks to all who
reply.
