+#Here is a shell script, compilefonts, to call mf to generate a set of gf
+#fonts in the desired sizes, e.g. for a screen previewer or possibly for a
+#400 or 600 dpi printer, and then to call gftopk to convert to pk format
+#and finally to remove the gf fonts. I have also included a help file,
+#mf.help. Please feel free to edit these in any way you see fit. I have
+#tested the script and can guarantee that it works.

+The 300pk fonts in this directory should be sufficient for use with most
+standard 300dpi laserprinters. If you use a recent version of dvips, it
+will call metafont on the fly to generate the fonts it needs as long as
+it can find the .mf files. If you use xdvi or maxview as your
+previewer, the 300pk fonts should be sufficient. For other previewers,
+however, you will probably have to generate your own screen fonts. The
+easiest way to use metafont to do this is with the script, compilefonts,
+based on a script, CompileFonts, by James Clark, the author of groff.
+However, it is essential that the mode chosen be one which is in
+/usr/local/lib/tex/mf/inputs/modes.mf (or wherever on one's installation
+this file is kept). E.g. for 120dpi fonts for dvipage under Sunview,
+choose mode=OneTwoZero. For 110dpi fonts for dvivga under Xenix, use
+mode=IBMVGA and dpi=110. If one is using dvivga under MS-DOS, it will
+be necessary to rename the fonts because of filename limitations under
+MS-DOS. Use the directory structure and filenames in your dvivga
+installation as a model.
+
+Let me repeat again that the modes MUST be defined in modes.mf. If
+you need the above modes and they are not present, ask your system
+administrator to obtain a more up-to-date modes.mf file. (One should
+always be available at a nearby CTAN archive site.)
+
+It is recommended that compilefonts be invoked in the background as
+the process can be lengthy (15 minutes on a Sun IPC). To do this,
+type "compilefonts &" at your Unix shell prompt.
