I'm trying to generate .*pk's from the .mf's that someone sent me. I've found
the file that I'm supposed to run through `mf', and I've tried both `cmmf'
and `virmf' (it shouldn't matter, as the file loads `cmbase' if it hasn't been
loaded), but I get a 600K+ log file full of error messages.
The first error message is something like
Incorrect `:=' replaced with `='.
(The line in which this occurs is
if unknown cmbase: input cmbase fi
That's the third line of the file; the first two are comments.)
When I try letting it go, I get a whole bunch of messages saying that
Transform components aren't all known.
Help--please!

You do not say where you got the metafonts, but I wonder if they are for the old metafonts,e.g., the Chinese metafonts of Hobby and Gu Goan. You have to run that on a machine running Sail. There aren't many, and sail.stanford.edu itself is being decommissioned soon. Bob Morris ram@typo.umb.edu
