- I'm sure that this is a problem that can be handled once the local
- bookstore calls and says the FM has arrived. For now I'll draw on
- the vast experience of others. I using emtex and its version of
- metafont. I've downloaded some fonts from YMIR and most have worked
- just fine. I'm getting some errors when I try and install YGOTH. Most
- are of the form
-
- ! Strange path (turning number is zero).
-
- Some also say
-
- The path doesn't have a counterclockwise orientation,
- so I'll probably have trouble drawing it.
-
- Is this to be expected with this font? Did I use the wrong incantation
- to mf? (If that's the case I used the wrong one for all the others
- as well) Please answer by email.

- Thanks,
- - Joel
