I've been having problems with OZTeX and need some help. I've got
some font files which I've downloaded from a VAX running VMS which
I can't seem to get to work. Others which I've downloaded
(including some astronomical symbol fonts and various logo fonts)
work, but one these I get a "Bad font metric (TFM) file" error
message from OZTeX. The version of METAFONT used to create the GF
and TFM files was V1.7 (yeah, I know, stone-age). However, the same
version was used to create other files which are perfectly okay. In
case you want to know something about the fonts themselves, they
are an incomplete (<128 characters) version of a cyrillic font of
my own design, based on the computer modern fonts on which I've
worked (off and on) for the last three years (although not much for
the last two years). However, since some of these other fonts
(especially the logo fonts) have less than 128 characters, I can't
see that that's the problem either. Does anyone know of any
reason(s) that these fonts might not work?
