- I am just 'playing around' with METAFONT, and am having trouble getting
- a look at what I've produced. I am using emTeX's METAFONT Ver. 1.7 [2g]
- and have no trouble gettting io.dvi file and io.120. These seem fine,
- as gftype io generates a file that 'makes sense' and
- gftodvi io.120/ grayfont grayfx responds by saying that it has generated
- 17 pages (this is the io excersize in the METAFONT Book on pgs 35 - 40).
-
- The problem is that I know I need to turn the font into a 'local' thing,
- but what I try to run gftopxl io.120 I get the following:
- This is GFtoPXL, Version 2.1 [1d]
- Bad GF file: ID byte is 0!
- run-time error R6001
- - null pointer assingment
-
- (Yet, no problem with this file with the other GFto... files)
- Anyone know what my problem is? Will I really have to down load a newer
- version? (The last link is at 2400 baud...I'd like to avoid that).
-
- Thanks.
