I just recently installed TeX3.0 for my first time, and I am not
familar with TeX or Metafont (I have played with it, but that is about it).
I am trying to run dvips which runs MakeTeXPK which in turn runs mf.
And I get the following error:
This is dvips, version 3.6 (C) 1987-9 Radical Eye Software
' TeX output 1990.10.02:2350'
- MakeTeXPK cmr17 400 400 magstep\(0.0\)
mf \mode:=nexthi; mag:=magstep(0.0); batchmode; input cmr17
This is METAFONT, C Version 2.0
(Fatal base file error; I'm stymied)
Metafont failed for some reason on cmr17.400gf
dvips: Could not open cmr17.400pk, loading tfm
Did I do something wrong when I installed metafont?
(This is on a SUN3/280 running SUNOS4.1)
