[comp.text.tex] HELP: EMTEX can't find .TFM file

rstanton@leland.Stanford.EDU (Richard Stanton) (03/25/91)

I just tried typing "TEX <filename> and received the following
error message (from the latest version of EMTEX):

Font \elevenbf=cmbx10 scaled 1200 not loadable: Metric (TFM) file not found.

The line which causes this is:

\font\elevenbf=cmbx10 scaled \magstep1 % boldface for titles 

which appears in a file which is \input in the first line of the
main TEX file. This is strange, as I have set up environment variable
TFM to point to the correct TFM directory. Everything works OK if I either
put the main TEX file in the same directory as the .TFM files, OR
in the same directory as the file that I \input (this is in the
directory pointed to by the environment variable TEXINPUT).

What's going on? It seems only to go wrong when it has to use an environment
variable to find a TFM file referred to inside an input file which it needed
to use another environment variable to find.

Any suggestions?

Increase the  FILES=nnn entry in your config.sys file (you have one,
don't you?). FILES=20 should be enough.
