How do you generate the .tfm files for teh gray/black/slant fonts which you need to use gftodvi? I have the UnixTeX 3.0 stuff from labrea.stanford.edu:/pub/tex/unix3.0. I tried running metafont on `gray.mf' but that file just includes `grdov' and *that* file had bogosity in it... (I appreciate any help!) -- Kenneth H.

Must be an Americanism :-) Remember that gray fonts can't be magnified, nor can they really be run off for different devices. In fact, they aren't device independent at all. This is because the characters must be a whole number of device pixels wide. So, you really want gray.mf to say > input grlocal % `standard' gray font is for default mode (whatever that is) (Quite why the standard in the distribution is for a Dover, I don't know.) Then grlocal.mf should say > % Gray font for `localfont' (whatever that may be) > > mode_setup; > > if mode<>localfont: > errmessage "This file is for " & mode_name[localfont] & " only"; > def input suffix t = enddef; > fi > > font_identifier "GRAYLOCAL"; > input grayf; > bye.
