I've added a Metafont example to my page: http://home.salamander.com/~wmcclain/context-help.html#newfont-mf I don't know much about Metafont, and your comments (as always) are welcome. In particular, I have two questions: (1) I don't specify encoding, because I'm not sure how encoding interacts with MF. Is it even required? The typescript works without encoding references. (2) texexec + pdftex do not generate .pk files like xdvi does. Is that an option I've missed? In the example I give I first create a .dvi version of the file and have xdvi create the .pk files, which then can be read by pdftex. -Bill -- Sattre Press Tales of War http://sattre-press.com/ by Lord Dunsany info@sattre-press.com http://tow.sattre-press.com/
