help needed in generating eufm# font with emtex

Post by G.Robert Arrabi » Mon, 18 Jan 1993 06:35:51



I recently FTP'ed emtex from ymir.claremont.edu. I was able
to generate all the fonts using bmf286.exe except for eufm# of euler.mfj.
I get the following error message:

------------- contents of eufm5.log -------------------
This is METAFONT, Version 2.0 [3a] (preloaded base=plain 90.9.19)  15 JAN 1993 22:24

            (1142^^?^^?^^?^^?^^?^^?^^?^^?^^?^^?^^?^^?^^?^^?^^?^^?^^?^...
If you really absolutely need more capacity,
you can ask a wizard to enlarge me.

Font metrics written on eufm5.tfm.
Output written on eufm5.300gf (1 character, 136 bytes).

-------------------------- end of eufm5.log --------------------------

Here is the euler.mfj file for font eufm#

mags=s; m;
-------------- end of euler.mfj ---------

Quote:}

I get the same error message for eufm6, eufm7, ..., eufm14.
Again, I used bmf286. Could anyone supply me with a *bigger* bmf286
or the tfm files and the pk files for a HP LaserJet 3P printer. Any help
and/or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

This means that mf did not find the expected end-of-line marker in the
source file. Get Dhesi's flip from ftp-os2.nmsu.edu in pub/os2/all/miscutils/
and convert those UNIX-style EOL (\n) to MSDOS EOL (\r\n).



 
 
 

1. Time needed to generate fonts with emTeX

        I installed emTeX 3.0 [3a] for MS-DOS on the computer of
a friend of mine. It's a 16 MHz AT with 1 Mb RAM and a (about)
20 ms HD. Now I have to generate all the fonts, running MFJOB on
the file ALL.MFJ, for an HP laser printer (m=lj on the command
line of MFJOB) at 300 dpi. Then I'll convert the generated .PK
files to .FLI format using FONTLIB.
        My question is: what is the _order of magnitude_ of the
time needed to complete the given MFJOB job and to convert the
fonts to .FLI format on the computer I described? Minutes? Tens
of minutes? Hours? Days? Thanks in advance.
