[aus.tex] MetaFont

krooglik@ecr.mu.oz.au (06/18/91)

  I have MF for my computer, and I am interested in knowing hwo
to generate fonts of a certain size. I have little knowledge of
MF, and YES, I HAVE looked through the Knuth MF book, and found
it totally confusing (just like his TeX book!).

  All I want to do is simply create a font, say 518dpi. I have
all necessary files for MF.

  Can somebody please elaborate on this for me?

  I am having a problem with MF for the Amiga. I cannot seem to get it
to run! I have 1Mb RAM and I have memtop and memmax set to 100000 and
it says, when run, that "Insufficient Memory (5)!"

  Can someone please elaborate?

I haven't run MF on the Amiga but I have run TeX (PasTeX that is). You
probably need to REDUCE memtop and memmax. If I remember rightly,
memtop/memmax specify number of long words ie 100000 means it is trying
to grab a 400k block of memory.
