Recently, I found myself accidentally producing fonts with extensions like `3122gf'. How?
will take anything as an excuse to revert to proof mode.
The `3122' is a magstep 1 proof mode. It's
(1.2)^1 * 2601.72 = 3122.164 dots per inch.
My intention was for on a PC to use an HP Laserjet mode in place of proof mode. However, 's command line resembles the law: every stroke of the pen is significant. What I had forgotten was that on my setup, `localfont' must be explicitly requested.
EmTEX's , with plain.mf, defaults to proof mode. However, I usually want a local printer's font-making mode. So to process pics.mf correctly, I need to say:
mf '\mode=localfont; input pics'
