-
- This is an updated version of the MetaFont 2.71 package for the Amiga from
- November 1993 (AmiNet) and May 1994 (Meeting Pearls CD). Included are new
- versions of the binaries, plus VFtoVP and VPtoVF for "virtual font"
- handling. All programs perform recursive search for include files. No
- longer included are the sources for the Computer Modern font family. You
- can find these and many other font sources in the InterNet.
-
- For detailed information about the contents of this implementation and how
- to make use of it, see the LaTeX2e documentation in German or English.
-
- Extract the archive with the command
-
- > LHa x MetaFont_V2.71_U.lha <destination path>
-
- A root directory `<destination path>MetaFont' will be created. You should
- assign `MF:' as a shortcut pointing to this root name, so that the programs
- work properly.

- Happy MetaFonting

- Changes for CD-ROM distribution (made by Georg Heßmann 03-dec-94)
-
-
- For easier working of this Metafont distribution together with PasTeX I've
- made some small changes:
-
- - new/changes base files. They now use the PasTeX-modes.mf file.
- - add many font input files in MF:inputs
- - slightly changes ARexx files in MF:rexx and I've changes a bit the
- directory structure of MF:rexx
-
-
- Some hints for setting ENV: variables:
-
- setenv CALLMF MF:rexx/MakeTeXFont.rexx
- // to generate missing fonts immediatly, or
- setenv CALLMF MF:rexx/MakeBatch.rexx
- // to generate a script file, which will
- // generate all missing fonts
- // (Script name: MF:MakeTeXFont.sh)
-
- setenv MFLOGDIR MF:Log // Logging directory (default T:MFLog)
-
- setenv MFTMPDIR RAM: // Working directory of the font generation
- // (default T:)
