Hi, I have copied the Washington University IPA fonts from one of the fileservers (LISTSERV@DHDURZ1 to be precise) but get some errors generating the slanted versions, WSLIPA8-WSLIPA17. The following sequence of errors occured when running METAFONT on WSLIPA8.MF: ... > 0 ENE 1 NNE 2 3 (ENE ESE SSE) SSW 0 (SSE ESE) ! Strange path (turning number is zero). <to be read again> ; l.34 filldraw z5r--z6l--z6r--z5l---cycle; % middle tip ? [24] > 0 ENE 1 NNE 2 3 (ENE ESE SSE) SSW 0 (SSE ESE) ! Strange path (turning number is zero). <to be read again> ; l.67 filldraw z5r--z6l--z6r--z5l---cycle; % middle tip ? [25] > 0 ENE 1 NNE 2 3 (ENE ESE SSE) SSW 0 (SSE ESE) ! Strange path (turning number is zero). <to be read again> ; l.103 filldraw z5r--z6l--z6r--z5l---cycle; % middle tip ? [26] > 0 ENE 1 NNE 2 3 (ENE ESE SSE) SSW 0 (SSE ESE) ! Strange path (turning number is zero). <to be read again> ; l.149 filldraw z5r--z6l--z6r--z5l---cycle; % middle tip ? [27] [83] [41] [50] [51] [89] [91] [62] [63] [33] [32] [31] [2] [9] [67] ... When running METAFONT on the other sizes (9 10, 11, 12, 17) the same errors occured (not always all). Comparing the resultant font with bitmaps we obtained from WSU using testfont.tex revailed no (visible) differences. I'm no METAFONT expert, what should I do? The fonts look good, but getting errors worries me a little. Regards, Johannes Braams -- Johannes Braams PTT Research Neher Laboratorium, P.O. box 421, 2260 AK Leidschendam, The Netherlands.
