Does anybody know how to construct font tables like those that appear in D.E.K.'s TeXbook (appendix E or F)? I received a bunch of fonts the other day, and need to know exactly what is in each file. Thanks in advance (of course) for any help. __ David Dougherty @ AT&T Bell Laboratories UUCP: att!attunix!dwd ARPA: dwd@sfsup.att.com

Run tex on it and follow the instructions. It doesn't output in Appendix F format but it shows you what is there. Trivia for the week: Each appendix's letter is the first letter of its title, hence F for Font Tables.

Try using the testfont.tex macros in the back of the METAfont book. Not only can you produce font tables, but a variety of other tests are provided for a new font. ========================================================================= J.

Use the program testfont.tex If you don't have it you can get it from the clarkson archive. It is in tex-inputs -- Michael DeCorte // (315)265-2439 // P.O.
