Howdy!
Very often I get a message like this when I run tex or latex:
This is TeX, C Version 2.98 (no format preloaded)
(gentle_intro.tex
! Font \brm=cmr10 scaled 1200 not loadable: Metric (TFM) file
not found.
<to be read again>
\relax
l.61 \else \font\brm=cmr10 scaled \magstep1
\fi
?
If I answer with the help command, I get this:
I wasn't able to read the size data for this font,
so I will ignore the font specification.
[Wizards can fix TFM files using TFtoPL/PLtoTF.]
You might try inserting a different font spec;
e.g., type `I\font<same font id>=<substitute font name>'.
?
Since I'm not a wizard at tex or latex, I simply have it enter
batch mode and live with the results.
Could someone please tell me how to prevent this from
happening in the future? Is there a simple way to
create these TFM files without having to become an
expert?
Thank you!
Rick
