  12. I have a MetaFont problem trying to generate the small caps font at an
  13. effective size of about 9pt (mag=0.8967) which is being asked for by the
  14. REVTeX macro package.  While MF is clear about the problem, ("capacity
  15. exceeded, sorry [number of strings=598].", see the log below) I'm not
  16. adept enough to know what to poke before rebuilding.  I have all the
  17. sources from DECUS, so if someone could tell me what parameter to
  18. modify, I can easily rebuild the source.  Thanks!
