I'd be very interested in this - please post it to comp.text since we can't
ftp from this site.
I'd also like to know how to get hold of a copy of mtex - if there was a
posting I must have missed it. Please could some kind person Email me with
the details.

I got the `mtex' package, but I can't seem to get MetaFont to generate .pk
or .pxl files.  This, of course, can be explained by the fact that I don't
know MetaFont.

I intend to learn MetaFont, but could someone please tell me how to generate
.pk (or .pxl) files from the .mf's that come with `mtex'?  If that's too
complex, then could I `ftp' the .pk's from someone?

Advance thanks.
