Welcome to the user's kit for Donald E. Knuth's
MetaFont Engine, Release 2.71
November 25, 1994
This Amiga port of MetaFont 2.71 was done by Andreas Scherer. Please send
complaints, bug reports, adulations, etc., to me, by snail mail to my
postal address: Roland-Straße 16, 52070, Germany, or preferably by email
to my Internet address: <scherer@genesis.informatik.rwth-aachen.de>.
This program package is FREEWARE. All rights are reserved. No warranty is
given, whether expressed or implied. Use these programs at your own risk.
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
Andreas

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:)
