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. |
