- I fixed the problem -- turned out that whoever installed metafont
- constructed a mf.base file (or plain.base file) without any mode_def support
- (at least not for the output devices that we have. The solution was to
- first :
- Fix the config.ps which was set to default at 400, since we have
- 300dpi devices here :-(. (my stupid mistake)
- Fix the mf.base file in the bases directory, which was causing
- problems since it didn't have the proper mode defs, by
- re-dumping it with plain.mf and the modes.mf file from
- ftp.cs.umb.edu (thanks to the authors, for including docs in
- the file for how to do that! internal and online
- documentation aren't too clear in that respect!)
-
- Anyway, it works, and thanks to all for suggestions and hints...
