Hi, I am trying to use PasTex with an amiga 2000, 1meg ram, and a hard drive. Would some kind soul advise me as to appropriate config file values to let the system run without "out of memory" errors. (actually, if you could mail me a config file that would be even better). Also, I am am using a panasonic KX-P1124 printer... Which fonts / resolutions should I use to get the best output. Is there anything else I should know about using this printer with PasTex? Greg Hamlin hamlin@sol.ral.rpi.edu

Also, I am am using Change this lines: ---from--- triesize 16000 itriesize 19000 % triesize (for IniTeX only) ---to----- triesize 9000 itriesize 9000 % triesize (for IniTeX only) ---------- That should be enough for english hyphenation patterns. (Maybe 8000 is enough) If you have always memory trouble, decrease 'memmax' and 'memtop'. >a panasonic KX-P1124 printer... Which fonts / resolutions should I use to >get the best output.

Can it print: 180x180dpi or 360x360dpi or only 120x72dpi or 240x216dpi? >Greg Hamlin >hamlin@sol.ral.rpi.edu Georg. -- hessmann@unipas.fmi.uni-passau.de hessmann@unipas.uucp

On a similar note, I have set up Pastex-1.2a and MF2_7 according to instructions. Virtex and ShowDVI work fine (excellent job, BTW). However, on calling MakeTextFont.rexx (CallMF 0.82) or calling virmf to create unknown fonts, I get an error: rx MakeTextFont cmr10 237 91 91 Making font with name = cmr10 dpi = 237 and base x = 91 y = 91 MF commands: '\mode:=NineOne; \mag:=2.60439561; \input cmr10; \scrollmode' This is METAFONT, C Version 2.7 Sorry, I can't find that base; will try the default. (Fatal base file error; I'm stymied) Now I have all fonts in the fonts directory - I can't understand what I'm doing wrong. What explicitly needs to be set for virmf to work? I set all environment variables to default values with a script on startup. Thanks, Veenu

Maybe you don't have a special base file for cm-fonts? ******** From README.usa ********** - If you only use plain.base and don't have a cmbase.base change the line cmbase = "cmbase" in cmbase = "plain" An extra cmbase-file does NOT have great advantages, you only win some seconds when loading. **** end Look at mf:bases if there is a 'cmbase.base'. If it's not there modify 'MakeTeXFont.rexx' in the way mentioned above. >Thanks, >Veenu ciao Martin.
