One of the documents I want to print makes reference to a font "logo10."
Since this is not currently installed on our system, I decided to make
the font and install it. However, when I tried to make it, I got the
following:
[ 1 ] --> cmmf '\mode=localfont;' input logo10
This is METAFONT, C Version 1.7 (no base preloaded)
(logo10.mf (logo.mf [77] [69]
>> unknown boolean monospace
! Not implemented: not(unknown boolean).

:
change_width->if.not.monospace:
if.r+shrink_fit-l=floor(charwd*hppp):w:=w+1;r...
l.53 if .5w<>good.x .5w: change_width
; fi
? h
I'm afraid I don't know how to apply that operation to that
particular type. Continue, and I'll simply return the
argument (shown above) as the result of the operation.
? x

I am in no way a METAFONT guru. Can anyone explain what is wrong and,
more importantly, what I should do to fix it?
Please send replies to steele@en.ecn.purdue.edu. Thanks.

Try using mf (or virmf or whatever the UnixTeX distribution calls it). A question for someone who's ordered the tape for UnixTeX rather than FTPing it or somesuch... does the manual say anything about when to use mf vs. cmmf?

I'm having trouble installing and using dvips on a Sun3/160 running OS4. I got the University of Washington TeX distribution from labrea.stanford.edu, and built it with minimal difficulty. I downloaded dvips from the same source and built it successfully. However, when I try to run a small (1 page) file through LaTeX and then dvips, I run into difficulty. LaTeX seems to process the file correctly (at least it makes no complaints) but the same is not true for dvips. This is the first document ever printed with dvips from this machine, so none of the fonts are available yet - I understand that metafont will be invoked by dvips to build them. But when metafont is invoked, this is the result! ***********Begin Inclusion********* % dvips summary This is dvips 5.47 Copyright 1986-91 Radical Eye Software ' TeX output 1991.04.19:1146' -> !lpr - MakeTeXPK cmbx10 329 300 magstep\(0.5\) cmmf \mode:=imagen; mag:=magstep(0.5); scrollmode; input cmbx10 \</dev/null This is METAFONT, C Version 1.7 (no base preloaded) (/sdg/netsrc/tex/lib/mf/inputs/cmbx10.mf (/sdg/netsrc/tex/lib/mf/inputs/cmbase.mf) (/sdg/netsrc/tex/lib/mf/inputs/roman.mf (/sdg/netsrc/tex/lib/mf/inputs/romanu.mf The letter A [65] . . .

[1] *********End Inclusion************* Apparently, even though metafont was told to produce cmbx10.329pk (the metafont man page says that any 300 dpi font at magstep(0.5) is a 329 dpi font) it actually produced a 285 dpi font. Can anybody out there explain this or suggest how I might fix the problem? I created the cmplain.base and plain.base files with inimf and installed them where mf and cmmf can find them. I've got cmmf aliased to virmf '&cmplain', as the documentation suggests to do. Any hints or help will be greatly appreciated. Thanks. Peter Webb, (pwebb@ncsa.uiuc.edu) PS I've tried using both mf and cmmf - the results are the same.
